RIO Elite Gold Max (Camo) – when you need more power for casting
The RIO Elite Gold Max is a powerful all-around fly line designed for anglers who regularly fish weighted nymphs, large strike indicators, heavy streamers, or bulky dry flies. Its heavier head profile loads modern fly rods quickly and efficiently, making it easier to cast demanding rigs.
Gold Max is approximately one full line size heavier than the standard AFTMA rating, delivering more energy to the leader and improving turnover. The shorter, compact head design allows easier casting at medium and longer distances, efficient roll casting, and precise line control during the drift.
- One full line size heavier than standard AFTMA ratings
- Compact head design for easier casting of large and heavy flies
- Ideal for streamers, indicator nymphing, and larger rivers
- Low-stretch ConnectCore Plus core
- Improved strike detection and faster hook sets
- SlickCast coating for maximum slickness and long-term durability
- Excellent roll-casting and effortless mending
- Camo camouflage colour
ConnectCore Plus for better connection to the fish
ConnectCore Plus technology minimizes line stretch, allowing anglers to detect subtle takes more effectively and maintain better control during the fight. Every movement of the fly and every contact with the bottom is transmitted more directly compared to traditional fly line cores.
SlickCast – an exceptionally smooth coating
SlickCast is one of the smoothest coatings used on modern fly lines. It reduces friction through the guides, improves casting performance, and increases the overall durability of the line over time.
Who is Gold Max designed for?
For anglers who regularly fish larger streamers, weighted nymphs, strike indicators, or want to load modern fast-action rods quickly and efficiently.
