Product information "Premier Gold (moss/gold - floating) Fly Line"
The Benchmark for Modern Trout Fly Fishing
THE ULTIMATE, ALL-AROUND floating line for trout with ultra-slick performance.
The RIO Premier Gold has earned its reputation as one of the world's most trusted trout fly lines. Designed for anglers who demand accuracy, effortless casting and maximum versatility, it performs equally well on rivers and stillwaters.
Its medium-long head loads today's fast-action fly rods quickly at short range while maintaining excellent loop stability and line control at longer distances. Whether you're presenting dry flies with precision or mending long drifts, the Premier Gold delivers outstanding performance throughout the day.
Built for Dry Flies, Nymphs and Small Streamers
The RIO GOLD has a revolutionary taper design that gives incredible loop stability at distance, a unique profile that allows a rod to load at close range and a front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #22 and #2. The RIO Gold is the ultimate all round, floating line for the trout fly fisher and is built with "MaxFloat Tip" technology, RIO's proprietary tip coating formula that floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter.
In addition, this line is built with SlickCast creating the slickest, most coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.
This versatility makes the RIO Premier Gold an excellent all-around floating fly line for trout and grayling.

SlickCast and MaxFloat Tip Technology
RIO's SlickCast coating creates an exceptionally smooth surface that reduces friction through the guides for longer casts and increased durability. The integrated MaxFloat Tip technology keeps the front of the fly line floating higher on the water, improving line pickup, mending and drift control.
The DualTone colour system clearly marks the rear of the head, making it easier to identify the optimal loading point during casting. Welded loops at both ends ensure quick and secure leader changes.
