With a revolutionary design that allows for incredible loop stability at distance, a unique taper that allows a rod to load at close range and a positive front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #22 and #2, the RIO Gold is the ultimate all round, floating line for freshwater fly fishing. The long back taper is excellent for mending and for roll and spey casting and the running line and head are different colors, making it easy to find the lines perfect loading point. The line features RIO's new XS Technology for an extraordinarily slick, dirt-repelling coating, in addition to RIO's AgentX and Super Floatation Technology that ensure the tip and the running line will float high.
A welded loop on the front end of the fly line facilitates changing leaders, though this can be cut off without compromising the taper.
