Rio Elite Gold Floating Fly Line
The Elite RIO Gold has a taper design that gives incredible loop stability at distance and a front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #2 and #22. With a long head and back taper, this line is an excellent all around fly line on rivers and lakes when long casts and complete line control are required.
This line is built with RIO’s low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, resulting in exceptionally smooth, durable fly lines, with the added benefits of incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and providing enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, RIO’s proprietary coating technology, creating the slickest, most responsive casting experience.

I’ve used the Elite Gold on several lake trips and it performs exceptionally well. The front taper gives great fly presentation, especially with smaller sizes. The line feels smooth and responsive, and I notice better take detection when fishing.

Long casts are much easier with this line. The back taper helps maintain control, and the sensitivity makes it easy to detect fish. I’ve used it on both rivers and lakes with consistent results.

Solid performance overall. The casting feel is smooth, and the line holds up well in windy conditions. A bit more expensive than others, but the quality and control justify the price.
