RIO Elite Gold XP Fly Line

The RIO Elite Gold XP Fly Line is the most versatile taper in the expanded Gold lineup, meticulously designed for the all-around angler who needs a single line to excel across the widest variety of techniques and casting situations. With a slogan of "Extra Power + Extra Versatility," this line is a true do-it-all, offering a perfectly blended performance that empowers you to do more in the places you fish most.

The Gold XP is built with a mid-length head and a half-size heavy weight. This intentional payload distribution provides the perfect balance between the ability to carry a long amount of line in the air and the ability to quickly load the rod for short, quick casts. This makes it an ideal line for a variety of scenarios, from making quick shots from drift boats to wading on smaller waters.

The Gold XP features a mid-length front taper that gives it incredible versatility. It is perfectly capable of turning over heavier rigs—including indicators and nymphs—with power, while still being able to deliver tiny dry flies with the necessary finesse and delicate presentation. This line allows you to seamlessly transition between techniques without changing your setup.

A medium-long rear taper and a balanced body give the Gold XP exceptional line control. This design maintains control for longer presentations, both in the air and on the water while mending. It ensures your line tracks true, making it easier to hit your target every time.

With added weight relative to the Classic Gold, the XP provides the extra power needed to comfortably fish and cast at shorter distances, which is typical of wading on smaller rivers. This makes it the perfect go-to line for anglers who need one line that can handle dry flies at a distance, run heavier rigs through deep pools, and make quick, accurate shots.

The RIO Elite Gold XP Fly Line is available in a range of line sizes for you to choose from in our drop down menu and comes in a Moss/Electric Green/Grey colouration.
