Rio Gold XP Elite Fly Line
There's a Cahill hatch slated to start around a quarter to 7 and you're on the water just after noon-you have two options: sit on the bank and wait for the first rising snout or work the bottom water column to dredge up success until the hatch. With Rio's all-new Gold XP Elite Fly Line, they've created the perfect line for those who want to tackle multiple fishing styles in a single shift. Combining a mid-length head with a half-size heavy design, this line bridges the gap between functionally loading modern rods while being able to softly land a small midge pattern in front of a rising fish. The addition of a medium-long rear taper and a well-balanced body also works to turn over clunky indicator rigs and heavy nymph patterns. A carefully crafted taper, Rio's SlickCast technology, and a properly muted yet bold-enough-to-see coloration combine to make this the only line you need all season long. Rio makes the Gold XP Elite Lines in weights 3 through 8, giving you the perfect option whether you're casting bushy dry flies to wild brookies or working streamers downstream in search of the largest animal in the system.
Features
SlickCast and ConnectCore- 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.
With their ConnectCore technology, Rio is able to reduce line stretch by roughly 30% while also increasing your line's coating smoothness, durability, general performance, and sensitivity. ConnectCore is also an excellent feature whenever you're coming tight to a fish and need to deeply set the hook. This tech even reduces memory, making hand-stretching your line in between sessions nice and easy without hassle.
Uses
Dry Flies, Nymphs, and Streamers - It's not often that you get a line that allows you to fish a nymph in the morning, strip a streamer in the afternoon, and then a spinner fall in the evening, but the Elite Gold XP Line does just that. A versatile line with a versatile taper, you can count on the Elite Gold XP to deliver just about any fly in your trout box.
Temp
Cold - The Gold XP Elite Line was built for four seasons of trout use. This coldwater line is designed to handle everything from a frozen winter afternoon spent drifting a pair of nymphs to midsummer terrestrial action. This versatile line, however, wouldn't stand up to truly tropical conditions.
Taper/Weight
Mid-Length Head with a Medium-Long Rear Taper and Balanced Body - Rio makes their Elite Gold XP series with versatility at the forefront of the design. This lead them to combine a mid-length head with a medium-long rear taper and balanced body that results in an ability to make long casts, turn over bulky nymph rigs, and also make delicate presentations in front of rising fish. The perfect configuration for days that cover a range of presentations, this line won't let you down no matter how the fish are feeding.
