Rio Elite Grand – Slick Cast Fly Line
The Elite RIO Grand is a full line size heavier than the industry standard, and features more weight distributed towards the front of the line to easily load faster action fly rods. It is an excellent choice for novice casters who need a little more “feel” when casting.
This line is built with RIO’s low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, resulting in exceptionally smooth, durable fly lines. It offers incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, enhancing detection of takes, enabling faster hook sets, and providing greater control when playing a fish.
Built with RIO’s SlickCast proprietary coating technology, this line delivers the slickest, most durable performance available. Lab tests show that lines with SlickCast exhibit superior resistance to abrasion and friction.

Neil Short –
I’ve been using the Elite Grand for a few weeks now and it’s noticeably more responsive than my previous line. The front-heavy design helps with faster rod loading, and I can feel the fish take much better. The SlickCast coating feels slick and doesn’t snag easily. Great for learning to cast with more confidence.
Liam Johnston –
As a beginner, I appreciated the extra feedback when casting. The line feels solid and doesn’t stretch much, which helps with timing my hook sets. It’s a bit heavier than what I expected, but that’s probably due to the front-weight distribution.
Edward James –
The sensitivity is outstanding. I caught a small trout today and felt the take immediately. The line holds up well in windy conditions and doesn’t tangle easily. SlickCast really makes a difference in performance.
