RIO Premier Gold Max Fly Line

Introducing the RIO Premier Gold Max Fly Line, a line that delivers unmatched power and performance. Designed with full line size heavy for easy casting this line is perfect for larger weighted flies and indicators, making it the perfect choice for the stillwater angler.

The Gold Max is crafted with a full-size heavy taper, designed for smoothly loading faster action rods and carrying larger flies with ease. This purpose-built design places more weight at the back of the line, allowing anglers to efficiently manage weightier setups, making it ideal for demanding casting situations in rivers and lakes. Its ability to load quickly without the need for excessive false casting means anglers can cast confidently, even in challenging conditions.

Engineered with the shortest head length in RIO’s Gold line-up, the Gold Max gives anglers maximum control. This compact head length helps streamline the line’s action, providing quick loading and enhanced manoeuvrability when fishing in tighter spaces. Whether you’re making precise casts into tight spots or need to work with restricted back cast room, the short head length is perfect for dialled-in presentations in varied environments.

With a rear-loaded body design, the Gold Max offers superb roll casting and mending capabilities, making it easier to control the line in fast or slow-moving water. The tapered back and short rear taper allow anglers to handle roll casts smoothly and precisely, while also helping to shoot line with less effort. This design feature makes it an exceptional choice for anglers needing to mend at a distance or control the fly line’s position during the drift.

Built with RIO’s exclusive low-stretch ConnectCore Plus technology. This core material amplifies sensitivity, giving anglers a heightened feel for subtle takes, faster reaction times for hook sets, and unparalleled control during fish fights. ConnectCore Plus delivers a more tactile casting experience, allowing anglers to stay connected to the action like never before.

SlickCast, RIO’s proprietary coating, makes the Gold Max one of the slickest, longest-lasting fly lines available. This advanced coating reduces friction to incredibly low levels, ensuring effortless casting and extended line life. Lab tests show SlickCast fly lines have the least friction ever measured, resulting in smooth, controlled casts that go the distance.

DualTone technology provides an easy-to-see colour change, marking the “sweet spot” on the line. This visual guide helps anglers locate the optimal loading point quickly and effortlessly, streamlining the casting process and enabling precise control.

EasyID’s printed line marking ensures you can easily identify the line type, saving time on the water and preventing setup confusion. This convenient feature is ideal for anglers with multiple setups and helps ensure you’re always equipped with the right line for your rig.

Durable welded loops at both ends of the Gold Max make rigging straightforward and secure. These loops allow for fast leader and backing attachment, ensuring a reliable setup while maintaining a smooth, unobstructed casting action.

The RIO Elite Gold Max Fly Line is available in a range of line weights for you to choose from in our drop down menu and they come in a Mint/Blaze Orange colouration.
