Elite Gold XP
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 excel across the widest variety of techniques and casting lengths, 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, delicate presentations, 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. 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 ample power at the front to turn over the widest range of rigs, plus enough rear power to load rods more deeply for short- to mid-length shots Mid-length front taper for increased versatility: Capable of turning over heavier rigs on shorter leaders powerfully or tiny dry flies on long leaders with finesse Color: Moss/Electric Green/Gray Line Sink Rate Colour 30 ft Head Weight Total Head Weigth Head Length Total Length 3er / WF-3-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 110 gr (7,1 g) 148 gr (9,6 g) 40 ft (12,2 m) 80 ft (24,4 m) 4er / WF-4-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 130 gr (8,4 g) 173 gr (11,2 g) 41 ft (12,5 m) 90 ft (27,4 m) 5er / WF-5-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 150 gr (9,7 g) 200 gr (12,9 g) 42 ft (12,8 m) 90 ft (27,4 m) 6er / WF-6-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 173 gr (11,2 g) 235 gr (15,2 g) 43 ft (13.1 m) 90 ft (27,4 m) 7er / WF-7-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 198 gr (12,8 g) 272 gr (17,6 g) 44 ft (13,4 m) 100 ft (30,5 m) 8er / WF-8-F floating Moss/Electric Green/Gray 225 gr (14,6 g) 304 gr (19,7 g) 45 ft (13,7 m) 100 ft (30,5 m)

Juicy Hopper (grey) (6 pcs)
From July to first frost, a good hopper pattern is an absolute must in your box if you fish for trout. RIO's Juicy Hopper has many key design features that make it an excellent summer pattern; the heavy curved hook lowers the center of gravity and help it land (and sit) correctly, the leg color matches the body just like the real insect, and the body markings and properly placed antennae give excellent elements of life and realism. There is enough foam to float a dropper pattern if you desire. Content: 6 pcs

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. Features: Rear-loaded head to carry big bushy flies with ease Long back taper for easy mends and extended drag free drifts Fine front taper for precise presentations Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating Specifications: Line Size: WF5FDensity: FloatLine Color: Tan/Lt Green/TanSink Rate: Float30ft Head Weight: 177gr (11.5gm)Total Head Weight: 265gr (17.2gm)Head Length: 45ft (13.7m)Total Length: 90ft (27.4m)
R8 Core Fly Rod
SAGE R8 Core Fly Rods - the revolution MADE TO FISH NOT TO CAST R8 Core is focused on maximum versatility and applies new revolutionary R8 material technology through our forward-thinking lens of what we're seeing out on the water - where one rod needs to show even greater range. At its core, R8 Core traces a direct lineage to Sage's multi-application / fast action vision, one shaped by the fishing evolutions happening all around us—from habitats we stalk and waters we frequent, to the flies we fish and the diversity of species we now target. Coming in a range from 3wt to 9wt, with a variety of lengths from 8'6" to 10'0", there's sure to be a model to fit the core needs of every freshwater angler. R8 Technology The advanced, leading-edge material behind R8 enables us to shape a rod with a stiffer, stronger backbone but a more sensitive tip and more connected feel. The secret is twofold. First, a proprietary aerospace composite with a greater hoop strength enables us to dimensionally grow taper diameter more quickly from the tip—while a nano-sintered resin application increases axial resilience and allows us to pack more fiber into the blank, resulting in that true two-way connection from hand to fly and back for greater feel, flow and control. Revolution 8 Technology Silver Pine blank color Slate primary thread wraps with graduated White and Grey trim Fuji ceramic stripper guides with hard chromed snake guides and tip-top Laser etched line weight on slide band Black rod bag with new quick-tie cord lock for faster, easier, and cleaner storage Aluminum rod tube with Sage medallion 3WT - 6WT Premium Flor grade snub-nose half-wells cork handle Sustainable Ziricote wood insert with anodized aluminum up-locking reel seat 5WT - 9WT Premium Flor grade full-wells cork handle with cork/EVA fighting buttGunmetal anodized aluminum up-locking reel seatIntegrated hidden hook keeper in reel seatA fast action provides the capability to stay tight to the line and in control of the presentation, while the high line speed drives a tight loop that assists in laser accuracy in technical dry fly situations. With ability to handle dry fly lines with long heads, increasing loop control when carrying long lengths and making precise casts to rising fish, all while making it easier to turn over long leaders for technical feeders at range. Nymphing With a sensitive tip section to protect light tippets, a versatile balance between lifting power and delicacy provides perfect synergy for nymph fishing. A very effective tool for anglers that fish nymphs and indicators wading or out of a boat. With a combination of power and feel,R8 Core allows for intuitively better cast timing, easier line lifts and sharp, precise mends leading to faster reaction times when setting the hook. Streamers A powerful butt section easily throws a wide range of streamers and accommodates a full lineup of sinking tip lines while also quickly pulling aggressive fish out of structure for increased landing success. The powerful butt section of the R8 CORE provides stability, connectedness, and power to rock and fire those one-shot casts. With feel that extends to the smallest dry flies, R8 provides the touch to deliver efficient mends with intention and precision. Setting From subtle sips to streamer strikes, the amplified sensitivity of R8 enables fine nibble feel that triggers instant, instinctual reaction for trout sets or strip sets. FISH FIGHTING With a fish on, R8’s fusion of stronger backbone yet greater feel enables you to control your fish, even from tough structure, with touch and care.
