RIO Ambassador Series Oliver White Flats Passport
Spin the globe, choose your arena, and stand-and-deliver with the Oliver White Flats Passport fly line that brings together an extra-long head and half-size heavy design for powerful presentations to far-ranging targets.
Transcontinental flats fishing is a game of calculated chance. It takes a willingness to roll with whatever the day gives you – tides, conditions and split-second decisions. A deep knowledge of intended targets – from permit to tarpon to bones and beyond. And of course it calls for a smart fly line with the ability to push limits and the wherewithal to make the shots, no matter the circumstances. Enter the new Ambassador Series Flats Passport, a far-ranging tropical floating taper designed for worldwide flats exploration – and made in collaboration with globetrotting angler, Oliver White.
“I want a tool that lets me do what I want to do. In this case, I needed to be able to throw a long leader because I think it matters. And I also wanted to be able to aerialize and cast more line… to be able to pick up and reposition it precisely, without having to strip in a short head. This line effectively executes the action I'm interested in creating – one that’ll enhance your overall experience on the flats.” – Oliver White, RIO Ambassador
