RIO Multi-Purpose Elite Gold

STANDARD WEIGHT / STANDARD POWER

Primary: Small Dry / Dry Dropper
Secondary: Big Dry / Light Indicator
 
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.

• Long head and standard weight configuration maximize ability to carry line and mend at distance
• Long rear taper improves long-cast line control, both in the air and on the water when mending
• Front-loaded body loads rods on shorter casts while maintaining the ability to carry long lengths of line
• Mid-length front taper turns over heavier rigs on shorter leaders powerfully or tiny drys on long leaders with finesse
