Elite Gold Max (camo) Fly Line
Powerful all-around taper for heavy fliesAt 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 easeShort rear taper for easier shooting on longer distance castsRear-loaded body turns over heavier rigs more smoothly than aggressive, front-loaded designs and makes for easy roll casting and mending of the entire headShort front taper for more powerful turnover of heavier flies and indicator rigsConnectCore Plus for improved sensitivity and hook settingSlickCast coating for low friction and long lasting performanceColor: CamoModelDenistyColor30 ft Head WeightTotal Head WeightHead LengthTotal Length4er / WF-4-FFloatingCamo140 gr (9,1 g)175 (11,3 g)36 ft (11,0 m)90 ft (27,4 m)5er / WF-5-FFloatingCamo160 gr (10,4 g)205 (11,3 g)37 ft (11,3 m)90 ft (27,4 m)6er / WF-6-FFloatingCamo185 gr (12 g)240 (15,6 g)38 ft (11,6 m)90 ft (27,4 m)7er / WF-7-FFloatingCamo210 gr (13,6 g)280 (18,1 g) 39 ft (11,9 m)100 ft (30,5 m)

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

Premier Bank Robber
THE ULTIMATE FLY LINE FOR PRESENTING TERRESTRIALS AND STONEFLIES CLOSE TO BANKSIDE COVER Whether fishing stoneflies, hoppers, beetles, or cicadas, the most effective presentation is often the same--flies should be dead drifting and tickling the bank. The RIO Bank Robber was designed specifically for this style of fishing. Its fine front taper enables precise, accurate casts while its rear-loaded head easily carries the biggest and bushiest salmonfly pattern. The long back taper makes it easy to mend and extend a drag free drift while a unique, bright green section marks the ideal lengths for loading the rod and picking up for another cast. Finally, the Bank Robber is made with a slightly harder SlickCast coating than a standard trout line, keeping it slick and easy to shoot on even the muggiest summer hopper days. It has never been easier to get your fly up against that cut bank and keep it there, cast after cast.

Fact is, the reduced coating at the narrow, tapered end of most floating lines doesn’t have enough buoyancy to stay above water. RIO’s MaxFloat Tips solves this age-old problem. Our all-new, proprietary tip coating formula floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter. That puts maximum floatation right where you need it for reduced drag, longer presentations and quieter pickups. Max CastMaxCast is a ultra-sophisticated line coating, made with a groundbreaking proprietary formula. It redefines floating line performance. MaxCast lines float higher, shoot farther, last longer and stay cleaner. AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable. 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.
