Product information "Elite Gold Max (camo) Fly Line"

Powerful all-around taper for heavy flies

At a full line-size heavy, GOLD MAX is RIO’s most powerful all-around taper for delivering plus-size rigs that get bites in fisheries not centered around long leaders and tiny drys. With the shortest head length in the GOLD class, MAX is purpose-built for smoothly loading weightier, unwieldy payloads. The short head carries more weight toward the back of the body so anglers can turn over heavier rigs more efficiently, while the shorter front taper combined with tapered body roll-casts bulkier rigs with ease, mends effortlessly at distance and delivers large drys with finesse. For powerful versatility, GOLD MAX lets you cast more weight under control, while also allowing for presentations decidedly cleaner than overly front-loaded line configurations.

This line is built with RIO's low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, resulting in incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing - providing enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. 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.

Choose GOLD MAX for Maximum Power + Effortless Performance.

  • Compact and powerful, the short head and full-size heavy weight carries heavier flies and rigs with ease
  • Short rear taper for easier shooting on longer distance casts
  • Rear-loaded body turns over heavier rigs more smoothly than aggressive, front-loaded designs and makes for easy roll casting and mending of the entire head
  • Short front taper for more powerful turnover of heavier flies and indicator rigs
  • ConnectCore Plus for improved sensitivity and hook setting
  • SlickCast coating for low friction and long lasting performance

Backing 20 lbs (pink) 100 yds

There are times when a fluorescent coloured backing is a great advantage. It is essential, especially when fighting very large species, to be able to track the path of a running fish. A coloured fluorescent backing helps you to do this.This is not only true for saltwater fly fishing, it also applies to Salmon, Pike, Steelhead and large Trout. A new production process has allowed us to produce a backing that, even when loaded tightly onto the spool, doesn‘t cut into the backing beneath it forming a weak spot. Fly rodders have praised good backing on many occasions, after all, on the day of the big catch a weak backing is the last thing you need! Length: 100 yds (91m)Strength: 20 lbs (9kg)Colour: pink

Ambassador Blitz Fly Line

DELIVER BIG FLIES QUICKLY TO POWERFUL, FAST-MOVING FISH WITH WIND-CUTTING EFFICIENCY AND MINIMAL FALSE CASTSThe Blitz line’s short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid- Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.- Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false casts to a minimum- Extended handling section for greater accuracy on long casts and easier pickups on second shots- Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly" Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reachout with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting."- Brian Horsley / RIO Ambassador
