Rio Premier Gold Max Floating Fly Line
At a full-size heavy, the Rio Premier Gold Max Floating Fly Line is Rio’s most powerful all-around freshwater taper for delivering hard-to handle rigs that get bites in fisheries not centered around long leaders and tiny dry flies. 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 rigs. The short head carries more weight toward the back of the body so anglers can turn over heavier rigs much more efficiently, while the short 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.

This line handles heavy rigs exceptionally well. The short head and rear-weighted design make it easy to cast and mend, even in windy conditions. I’ve used it in lakes with large fish and it consistently performs better than my previous full-size heavy line.

Great for casting bulky dry flies. The roll casting is smooth and I notice less line twist when loading heavy setups. It’s a solid upgrade from my older Gold line.

I’ve been using this line for several weeks in various freshwater environments. It’s reliable, durable, and performs well in both still and moving water. The mending at distance is noticeably easier than with other lines in the same class.
