Rio Premier Gold XP

Overview

Rio Premier Gold XP

“The ultimate multi-purpose line for the angler who fishes subsurface flies just until the hatch pops, then turns to dries for maximum application versatility. 

1/2 SIZE HEAVY / EXTRA POWER

Primary:           Dry Dropper / Light Indicator
Secondary:     Small Dry / Big Dry / Light Streamers

With a mid-length head and half-size heavy design, GOLD XP is the most versatile taper in the GOLD lineup. The added "extra power" relative to classic GOLD gives it the flexibility to cover the widest variety of techniques and casting distances, offering truly blended performance. Thanks to its medium-long rear taper and a balanced body for improved turnover of indicators and nymphs, GOLD XP is at home sending drys at distance, running heavier rigs though deeper pools and making quick shots from drift boats. GOLD XP is still perfectly capable of delivering precise presentations with delicacy, while its added weight makes the line fish and cast comfortably at shorter distances, typical of wading on smaller waters.

Choose Gold XP for Extra Power + Extra Versatility. 

In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology, creating the slickest, most durable fly lines on the market. Lab tests show that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

• Mid-Length Head and Half-Size Heavy weight balances the ability to carry line against quickly loading the rod for shorter casts.
• Medium-Long Rear Taper maintains line control for longer presentations, both in the air as well as on the water while mending.
• Balanced Body with enough power at the front to turn over a wide range of rigs while enough power at the back to load rods more deeply for short to mid-length shots.
• Mid-Length Front Taper for maximum versatility, capable of turning over heavier rigs on shorter leaders powerfully or tiny dry flies on long leaders with finesse.
