Dołożę jeszcze parę słów od siebie, do mojego postu powyżej, wiedząc że mamy skłonność do dzielenia włosa na 4 
Pisząc, że linki OBS nigdy nie były dedykowane do dalekich rzutów, tylko do transportu dużych much i rzutów na krótkie i średnie dystanse w trudnych warunkach, miałem na myśli linkę OBS a nie Outbound, które różnią się od siebie długością głowicy. Outbound bez była pierwsza (nota bene nadal do kupienia, obecnie w innym opakowaniu) i została spreparowana przez Rio na potrzeby striped bass anglers na północno-wschodnim wybrzeżu USA i jej celem były muszyska typu Beast Fly i dodatkowy dystans. Wersja OBS doszła do kolekcji później i jej pierwotnym celem były duże muchy. Z czasem namnożyło się tego trochę w regałach Rio, a po kilku latach do opisu linki wkradł się zapis, że OBS służy do łatwego rzucania dużymi muchami na ogromny dastans. Być może kolejna wersja będzie znosić jajka lub dawać mleko
Pozwolę sobie dołączyć kilka cytatów o linkach OBS, które mają na karku +/- 10 lat, a może i więcej:
Specialty Series RIO Outbound SHORT: Short here does indeed imply SHORTER as in a 30’ taper VS the OG 37.5’ taper found in the Coldwater series. This is a freshwater/Coldwater line as well but at a shorter 30’ length still featuring the double bump weight format. This line is ideal for a number of angling scenario’s like Western Boat Streamer Bank Banging where repetitive cast to the banks edge with nasty streamers often produce the best Trout of the day, maybe the season! Think Yellowstone, Yakima, Madison and Missouri type environments where short range 25’-45’, rapid succession cast and strip techniques are the rule of the day. Quick loading with power to turnover and deliver the big nasty’s straight to Bow Bow and Brown Town’s favorite haunts. The 30’ SHORT taper is simply ideal for this classic western streamer fishing format.
RIO Tropical Outbound SHORT: Warm-tropical water use Outbound SHORT line that once again utilizes a double bumped weight formula that is a fantastic line for the Tropical salt water angler be it beach or boat. Examples abound here….Baja Roosters, Christmas Island/Seychelles’ Trevally. Anytime big flies and quick cast meet on the curve this is the clear cut winner.
Here’s what our very own Gorge Fly Shop owner and avid tropical fisherman, Travis Duddles had to say about Rio’s Tropical Outbound Short… “I have found the Tropical Outbound Short to be my favorite line for stalking Tarpon and Snook along the mangroves. This situation requires quick 40 to 60 foot cast. The Tropical Outbound loads the rod with one quick back cast allowing for a very quick powerful cast to the mangroves. Although this would not be my choice for a distance line, this is the only line I would use in the mangrove lagoons of Mexico, Belize and Florida.
Rio Outbound Short Line Profile, Specs & Line Sizes: Ideal for little backcasting room & punching big flies into wind with fewer false casts but not for distance casting . Also available in a Rio Outbound Tropical Line version that won’t wilt in the heat.
A general feature of the Outbound fly line family is that these WF (weight forward) fly lines have an “aggressive” head taper design that allows one to load fast action rods easily and cast bulky flies into the breeze. The most of my casting is in the 50 to 60 ft range, but that these lines can be cast further well, even if not designed for this long bomb style.
