Rio Elite Gold Fly Line

Maximum Feel. Ultimate Presentation. Elite Performance.

The RIO Elite Gold WF Fly Line is built for anglers who demand total control, smooth loading, and laser-accurate presentations. Featuring RIO’s SlickCast for ultra-low friction and ConnectCore Plus for enhanced feel and minimal stretch, this line delivers high-loop stability and pinpoint accuracy—whether you're drifting a size 20 parachute or delivering a bushy hopper 50 feet across fast current.

The Elite Gold’s long head design makes it perfect for technical trout fishing, mending at distance, and roll casting with ease.

  • Long head = great for mending, roll casts, and control at range

Description

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.

This line is built with RIO's low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, resulting in exceptionally smooth, durable fly lines, with the added benefits of incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and providing enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology, creating the slickest, most durable fly lines on the market. Lab tests show that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.
