Rio’s Elite GT Fly Line
The perfect line for chasing GT’s with low-stretch, ultra-slick performance
RIO’s Elite GT (Giant Trevally) line has been specifically designed for the demanding conditions faced by the hardcore GT angler. Now featuring an integrated Kevlar Loop for maximum abrasion protection against coral and sharp edges. Each line is built on RIO’s 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, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

FAQ
What makes the Kevlar Loop different from standard loops?
The integrated Kevlar Loop provides enhanced abrasion resistance against coral and sharp edges, offering better protection during fishing in rocky or reef environments.
Is the line easy to stretch and maintain?
Yes, the line is built on RIO’s low-memory DirectCore, which is easy to anneal and maintains a straight water lay without excessive stretching.
How does the SlickCast coating improve performance?
The SlickCast coating reduces friction significantly, resulting in smoother casting and better line control in the water.

Used this line on a reef fish trip in the Caribbean. The Kevlar loop held up well against sharp rocks and coral. Casts smoothly even in hot weather. Very little drag during retrieval.
Hannah Nolan –
Felt like a big improvement over my previous GT line. The coating is slick and the line stays straight. No tangles or friction issues during long casts.

Good abrasion protection thanks to the Kevlar loop. A bit heavier than expected, but it performs well in strong winds and rough conditions.

Perfect for GT fishing in shallow, rocky areas. The low stretch and smooth cast make it easy to control when targeting large fish.
