The go to line around the globe.

The RIO Gold fly line has long been the preferred choice for trout anglers worldwide, offering exceptional versatility and performance. Its unique taper design ensures precise loading of fly rods at close range, delivering flawless presentations for flies ranging from size #22 to #2. Enhanced with RIO's proprietary SlickCast coating, the RIO Gold provides an ultra-slick, durable surface that minimises friction, resulting in effortless casting and extended drag-free drifts. Additionally, the MaxFloat Tip Technology ensures the line tip floats twice as high as standard tips, enhancing flotation without increasing diameter. Whether targeting trout in rivers or lakes, the RIO Gold fly line offers the control, stability, and finesse needed for successful fly fishing.

Which RIO Gold Fly Line is Best for Me?

Choosing between RIO Premier Gold, Gold XP, and Gold Max depends on your casting style, rod action, and fishing conditions. Here's a quick breakdown to help you decide:

  • Gold (Standard Weight) The classic all-around trout line. Ideal for anglers who want a versatile line that excels in delicate presentations while still turning over larger flies when needed. Best for medium-action rods.
  • Gold XP (Slightly Heavier, More Aggressive Taper) A great choice for those who prefer a faster-loading line with more power. This line helps load faster rods more efficiently and is better suited for casting into the wind or turning over bigger flies.
  • Gold Max (Heaviest & Most Powerful Taper) Designed for the angler who needs maximum power and quick rod loading. Best for fast-action rods, big flies, and heavy nymph rigs. If you fish in windy conditions or need to shoot line quickly, this is the best option.
