Rio Gold Max Premier Fly Line

Whether you're looking at midsummer terrestrial action with massive grasshoppers or an early-morning nymph shift with your favorite pair of large stonefly patterns, Rio's all-new Gold Max Premier Fly Line is just the right choice. Rio makes this series of lines one full line size heavy, allowing you to effortlessly load modern rods and make those faraway casts with ease. The Gold Max Premier then brings a complex taper that utilizes a short head (the shortest in all Gold options) with weight focused towards the back of the body to assist in turning over heavy rigs. The line's short front taper merges with the tapered body to mend like a champ and let you hit those across-the-river targets with ease. The Gold Max Premier Line is made in weights ranging from a 4 through a 9, providing you with all of the versatility you need whether you're planning a day on a small limestone stream or working something larger like a big tailwater.

Features

SlickCast - For top-tier line slickness and castability, Rio works their SlickCast coating into this series of lines. SlickCast is Rio's proprietary technology that massively increases your line slickness and durability while massively decreasing your line's friction.

Uses

Dry Flies/Terrestrials, Nymphs, and Streamers - Rio made their Gold Max Premier Line for delivering large, heavy, and air-resistant patterns. This makes it a great choice for presenting big/foam dry flies, mice, streamers, and heavy nymphs, and should you come across an afternoon hatch, you'll still be able to drop smaller flies with finesse.

Temperature

Cold - Designed to handle all of the seasons and temperatures that are conducive to trout fishing, Rio's Gold Max Premier is made for coldwater use. This allows you to fish anything from a snowy winter day to a warm summer morning when the fish are crushing 'hoppers.

Taper/Weight

Short Head with More Weight Towards the Back of the Body and a Short Front Taper - The taper on Rio's Gold Max Premier is well-thought-out and carefully designed to load fast-action rods and deliver rigs that other lines struggle with. Rio's Gold Max Premier integrates a short head with more weight towards the back of the body with a short front taper. This taper works to perfectly load modern rods while turning over and presenting heavy and/or air-resistant rigs while increasing power to make solid performance nice and easy.
