RIO's UniSpey Fly Line

 

RIO's UniSpey is the ultimate mid length, general purpose spey line, with three different style options. 1) A fully integrated floating line is ideal for casters that prefer one piece fly lines. 2) The full floating and 3) VersiTip shooting heads are an excellent choice for casters that like the versatility of switching between shooting heads. This short film shows the UniSpey in action, and illustrates the different models available.

World's Best Traction

Forty five years ago Yvon Chouinard took a hammer and steel and forged the future of ice climbing with a completely reimagined crampon. His rigid, front point design changed what was possible on vertical ice, and the climbing world has never been the same.

Yvon's latest innovation is a solution for sketchy footing in swift, slippery and rocky rivers.

The River Crampons are the highest-traction wading device ever built. Soft malleable aluminum bars are attached to a burley stainless-steel adjustable frame with corrosion-resistant brass rivets, to cut through weeds and moss on slick river bottoms and to grip on rock. Although not fly-line friendly, the design is simple, easily cleaned, and its fast drying materials help prevent the transport of invasive species.

Do the crampons work in the water, the answer is a game-changing yes. Patagonia's fishing ambassadors and testers, (myself included) can't imagine wading without them.
