Elite Rio Gold Fly Line

The ELITE RIO GOLD has a taper design that gives incredible loop stability at distance and a front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #2 and #22. With a long head and back taper this line is an excellent all around fly line on rivers and lakes when long casts and complete line control are required. The low stretch core creates the smoothest, most durable fly lines ever made, with incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and provides enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market, producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

RIO's low-stretch ConnectCore Plus provides a radical increase in line durability, coating smoothness and overall performance. ConnectCore Plus stretches 30% less than standard cores, and gives anglers all the benefits of a low-stretch core—enhanced sensitivity, less wasted energy and faster hook sets—with a significantly longer lifespan. It also allows hand stretching to easily remove memory coils for a more direct connection to fish and fly. ConnectCore Plus is only found on RIO ELITE tier fly lines. RIO's SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market, producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line. Line casts through the guides with higher line speeds for unprecedented and easy distance. The slick coating also allows anglers to fish more effectively as line slides out of the guides with less friction for extended drag-free drifts. SlickCast's proprietary formulation produces the toughest and most durable fly line coating in the world. Lab tests show that a line built with SlickCast lasts 140% longer than the nearest competitor in abrasion testing and lasts 33% longer when testing a fly line for cracking. Other features include: SUREFIRE is RIO's exclusive, triple color marking system that improves casting accuracy by making it easy to gauge exact distances with a quick glance. DUALTONE is a system perfected by RIO that marks the sweet spot of a fly line by providing an obvious color change in the line at the sweet spot. FRONT & BACK WELDED LOOPS are neat, bulletproof loops welded on the end for fast rigging. EASY ID is RIO’s printed line marking system that allows anglers to quickly and easily identify each line.
