RIO Elite Gold Max Fly Line

Introducing the RIO Elite Gold Max Fly Line, a true all-around powerful taper fly line designed to cast long distances with ease and deliver heavier flies with no problem at all. This line is a great option for the stillwater enthusiast!

Designed to load effectively even with challenging payloads, the Gold Max is the line of choice for anglers seeking exceptional power, control, and sensitivity in their casts. Crafted to excel on stillwaters that require more weight and precision, this line is a full-size heavy setup with a uniquely short head length, offering a seamless balance between power and finesse.

The Gold Max’s short head length and rear-loaded body carry more weight towards the back, ensuring effortless handling of heavier rigs without compromising control. This configuration excels in turning over bulky flies, weighted nymph rigs, and large indicators, making it ideal for fisheries where heavier payloads are necessary. The short head provides a compact and powerful design that loads rods smoothly and shoots line with remarkable efficiency, especially useful when casting in tighter spaces or windy conditions.

The Gold Max features a short front taper that allows for clean, powerful turnover, even with large, wind-resistant flies or weighted rigs. Combined with a short back taper, this line offers impressive roll casting and mending capabilities. The strategically designed rear-loaded body brings exceptional control to every cast, making longer mends and roll casts with heavy setups much easier to achieve. This setup bridges the gap between brute casting power and delicate presentation, making it a versatile choice for a range of fishing environments.

Built on RIO’s low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, the Gold Max offers heightened sensitivity for improved control and feedback. The reduced stretch enhances take detection and provides faster hook sets, while delivering better control when fighting powerful fish. ConnectCore Plus gives anglers the responsiveness and sensitivity to connect with even the lightest takes in challenging waters, allowing for a more dynamic and immersive fishing experience.

Equipped with RIO’s proprietary SlickCast coating, the Gold Max boasts the slickest and most durable finish on the market. Independent lab tests show that lines with SlickCast have the lowest friction of any fly line, providing smoother casts and greater durability across all conditions. SlickCast technology also protects against wear and tear, ensuring that the line maintains its premium performance season after season.

RIO’s innovative triple-colour marking system provides quick visual cues for gauging distance and loading, allowing for more precise and consistent casts. The printed line identifier simplifies line management, letting anglers quickly identify the Gold Max in their line-up.

The Gold Max comes with durable, bulletproof welded loops at both ends, providing easy rigging and quick line changes. These loops ensure a secure and smooth connection to leaders and backing, minimising potential snag points.
