OVERVIEW
RIO’s Elite GT (Giant Trevally) fly line has been specifically designed for the demanding conditions faced by the hardcore GT angler.
- A brand-new addition to this line is a kevlar reinforced front loop, eliminating a failure point when fighting these powerful fish.
- Each line is built on an incredibly tough, extra-strong low-memory DirectCore that is extremely easy to anneal (stretch) and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions.
- In addition, the line is built with SlickCast – the slickest, most durable coating on the market.

FAQ
What makes the Elite GT fly line different from other GT lines?
The Elite GT features a kevlar reinforced front loop, which eliminates a common failure point when fighting powerful fish. It also uses a low-memory DirectCore that stretches easily and maintains stiffness in hot conditions, along with SlickCast coating for durability and smooth performance.
Is the DirectCore technology easy to work with in the field?
Yes, the DirectCore is designed to be extremely easy to anneal (stretch), allowing anglers to adjust the line to their preferred casting conditions without difficulty.
Does the SlickCast coating improve casting performance?
Yes, the SlickCast coating provides a smoother, more durable surface that reduces friction and enhances casting accuracy and consistency.

This line performed exceptionally well during a long GT fishing trip. The kevlar front loop held up under heavy pulls and the line stayed straight even in hot weather. Easy to stretch and cast, it’s a reliable choice for tough conditions.
Dorothy Dickens –
I’ve used several GT lines before, but this one stands out. The SlickCast coating feels smoother and the DirectCore holds up well under pressure. No line breaks during fights with large fish.
Lillian MacDonald –
Solid performance in high-temperature conditions. The line stretches easily and casts true. The front loop is a welcome improvement over older models, though it’s slightly more expensive.

Fishing in deep waters with strong currents, this line stayed intact and didn’t tangle. The stiffness helps with casting accuracy, and the coating feels very durable after repeated use.
