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 durable 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.

Backing 20 lbs (orange) 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 (91 m)Strength: 20 lbs (9 kg)Color: orange

Euro Nymph Shorty
RIO’S EURO NYMPH SHORTY is an ultra-thin, super-sensitive fly line designed for Euro nymphing. The line is deliberately made short (20 feet) so it can be added to the front end of a regular fly line utilizing the thin welded loop on each end. The idea is that anglers can fish their normal fly fishing style with their regular trout line, and when they come to a run they want to fish Euro nymph style, they simply loop the Shorty on and start nymphing. Quick, easy and no need for an extra rod or reel.
FIPS Euro Nymph orange / sage / olive (#2-5)
The Euro Nymph line was designed to satisfy the need for a one size fits all European style nymphing line that is competition legal. The line is built on a thin diameter, low stretch, supple core to maximize sensitivity and allow for lightning fast hook sets, while a highly visible tip helps anglers detect the slightest of strikes. This line is designed specifically for European style nymphing techniques, such as „French“, „Czech“, „Polish“ and „Spanish“ styles. Line: one size fits all rods #2 - 5Length: 24,4 meterColor: orange / sage / olive Technologys XS (Extreme Slickness)The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a ge-neration of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance. ;Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
