Choose Gold XP for Extra Power + Extra Versatility.

The RIO Premier Gold XP fly line is designed for anglers seeking a versatile line capable of handling a wide range of fly fishing techniques. Featuring a mid-length head and a half-size heavy weight, this line offers the extra power needed for various casting distances and styles. Its medium-long rear taper enhances line control both in the air and on the water, making it suitable for delivering dry flies at distance, running heavier rigs through deeper pools, and making quick shots from drift boats. Despite its added weight, the Gold XP maintains the ability to present flies delicately, ensuring precision and finesse in every cast.

  • Mid-length head and half-size heavy weight for comfortable long-line carrying and quick rod loading
  • Medium-long rear taper for enhanced line control at distance

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.
