The Elite RIO Gold will soon feature updated packaging! The new packaging will roll out as we sell through our current stock, ensuring a seamless transition.

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.

The long head and relatively light weight of the classic RIO GOLD compared to its XP and MAX counterparts make it our best all-around trout taper for carrying long lengths of line and making precise casts. With a 47-foot head (WF5F) and long back taper RIO GOLD is the go-to all-around fly line on rivers and lakes when medium to long casts and distance mends are required. At standard weight with a longer 5-foot 6-inch front taper (WF5F) for soft presentations, RIO GOLD delivers flies with delicacy and finesse. With elevated line control at distance, excellent presentation and precise mending capabilities due to its longer back taper, it’s the ultimate multipurpose line tuned to the angler who rigs with dry fly intent then adapts as conditions change to droppers and light indicators.
