Product Description
RIO Elite Gold MAX Fly Line
Maximum Power. Superior Control. Built for Big Rigs.
The RIO Elite Gold MAX is the most powerful taper in the Gold series, designed to handle heavy indicator setups, large dry flies, and streamers with ease. Engineered for modern freshwater anglers who frequently fish bulky or weighty rigs, the GOLD MAX is a full line size heavy and features a compact head to deliver flies with power and precision — without sacrificing finesse.
Whether you're casting a big hopper-dropper combo, roll-casting with weight, or punching out indicator rigs in tight quarters, the Gold MAX provides the ideal balance of strength and control.
Key Features
-
Compact, Rear-Loaded Design – Distributes more weight toward the rear of the head for smoother turnover of heavier rigs.
-
Short Head Length – Loads rods quickly and casts efficiently at close to medium range.
-
Short Front Taper – Designed to power through wind and turn over large flies and indicators.
-
Short Rear Taper – Helps shoot line easily for longer casts and efficient roll casts.
-
SlickCast Technology – Ultra-slick, durable coating for maximum distance and long-lasting performance.
-
Dual Welded Loops – Welded loops at both ends for fast rigging.
-
Easy Mending and Line Control – Ideal for high-stick nymphing or fishing at distance with precise presentation.
Recommended Uses
Primary: Heavy Indicator Setups / Large Dry Flies
