Rio Premier Gold Max Fly Line

The Rio Elite Gold Max Fly Line may well be the ultimate multi-purpose line for the angler that has more tungsten, feathers, foam, and heavy weighted rigs in their box than CDC, parachutes, long leaders, and size 22’s. For those that follow Rio, this is the updated/upgraded version of the old Rio Grand.

At a full-size heavy, the Gold Max is RIO’s most powerful all-around taper for delivering hard-to handle rigs that get bites in fisheries not centered around long leaders and tiny dries. With the shortest head length in the Gold class, the Max is a purpose-built full-size heavy line for smoothly loading weightier and unwieldy payloads. The short head carries more weight toward the back of the body so anglers can turn over heavier rigs much more efficiently, while the shorter front taper combined with tapered body allows bulky dries to still be delivered with finesse. The short back taper combined with a rear-loaded body makes for incredible roll casting of heavier rigs while also making it easier to mend at distance. For powerful versatility, the rear-loaded Max bridges the gap between both worlds, giving anglers plus-size power to deliver more weight under control while also allowing for presentations decidedly cleaner than overly front-loaded configurations.

In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology, creating 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.

* Compact and powerful, the Short Head and Full Size Heavy weight efficiently carries heavier flies and rigs with ease.
* Short Rear Taper for easier shooting on longer distance casts.
* Rear-Loaded Body turns over heavier rigs more smoothly than an aggressive, front-loaded design and makes for easy roll casting and mending of the entire head.
* Short Front taper for more powerful turnover for heavier flies and indicator rigs.
* Color is Mint/Blaze Orange
