RIO PRODUCTS Elite Gold Fly Line, Easy to Cast Flies from Size 2 to 22, Ultimate All-Around Fly Line with Ultra-Slick Performance

This product has completely changed the way I think about fly lines and my rod and reel configurations. Previously, my focus, with respect casting performance, was almost entirely on my rod. After picking up rio elite gold , fly line is at the top of my list for creating or improving a rod and reel setup. This line makes my $150 Cabela's rod cast just as good as my orvis recon. And casting with my recon is night and day compared to the $50 line I had on it before. I'll never upgrade a rod again before buying premium line like this.Technically speaking, this line loads fast actions rods (e.g. recon) very nicely, making 40 ft casts quite effortless. The line floats very well and the line coating noticeably really helps in shooting line. It's also quite good at roll casting and I find myself employing spey casting techniques quite a bit at short range, although performance here is not nearly as good as a spey specific line.I use this line for a variety of techniques with high effectiveness: casting dry flies from a size 6 hopper to a size 18 midge is buttery smooth. Turns over medium Indicator rigs quite well. Has a bit of a struggle with medium and heavy size streamers (think sculpzillas) but is excellent with lighter streamers ( wooly buggers).Of course take with a grain of salt as caster's skill is not of the highest grade!

The product is very good and very good. Very!!

Good prices, accurate orders, timely shipping.

One of the very best fly lines. Currently own three Rio lines. Shoots through eyelets and floats extremely well. My fishing partner bought this line and after his first cast, stopped and told me how awesome it was.

This is the first fly line that I have spent this much money on. Only been out once so not a great comparison but it does seem slicker, is it 100.00 slicker not really sure yet.

I had this flyline on my 6wt and really liked it so I bought it again

Ordered this line April 2023 and very disappointed to see it has already broken down in under a year. I haven't had this issue with any other fly line (mostly use SA or Orvis PRO) so will not purchase again. Giving two stars since I do not feel like this is a good quality for the price.

Had heard about the fly line and definitely lives up to expectations
