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.
