The RIO Gold has been the go-to trout line
around the world for many years, and for a multitude of fly fishers. The
line has a long head and back taper that give casters total line
control and stability at range - whether casting or mending. The unique
profile is designed to load a fly rod at close range, and has a front
taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #22 and
#2.
We have enhanced the performance of this
wonderful trout line by building it with SlickCast - RIO's proprietary
coating technology. SlickCast creates 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. In addition,
the line features MaxFloat Tip Technology, RIO's proprietary tip coating
formula that floats more than twice as high as regular line tips,
without any increase in diameter.
The RIO Gold is the ultimate all round, floating line for the trout fly fisher.
