With a revolutionary design that allows for incredible loop stability at distance, a unique taper that allows a rod to load at close range and a positive front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #22 and #2, the RIO Gold is the ultimate all-around, floating line for freshwater fly fishing. The long back taper is excellent for mending and for roll and spey casting and the running line and head are different colors, making it easy to find the line's perfect loading point. The line features RIO's XS Technology for an extraordinarily slick, dirt-repelling coating, as well as RIO's AgentX and Super Floatation Technology that ensure the tip and the running line will float high. A welded loop on both ends of the fly line facilitates changing leaders and allows for fast rigging and line changes.

The RIO Grand is one half size heavier and features a unique taper design that pushes the weight to the front - enabling the caster to load the rod at short range. The line is ideal for fast action fly rods.

RIO's AgentX Technology gives the RIO Grand maximum floatation and creates an ultra smooth coating. This, coupled with the new Extreme Slickness Technology, ensures the line's coating is super slick and results in increased distance and line shooting ability. The Super Floatation Tip stays riding high on the water and has a welded loop to facilitate fast rigging.

RIO's latest trout fly line has been designed for the ultimate in performance for traditional trout fly fishing techniques. A long, delicate front taper ensures the softest of presentations, while an extended body gives the line stability at range and makes mending and roll casting easy. The weight distribution helps load a fly rod when fishing at short range or on smaller rivers and creeks, though it is manufactured precisely to the AFTMA standard and is ideal for all but the fastest of fly rods. The Trout LT is created with a supple braided multifilament core and features an extremely soft, memory-free AgentX coating which makes these high floating lines incredibly easy to lift quietly off the water and ensures that they are totally memory free. RIO XS Technology results in a very smooth and slick, dirt repelling finish, while the Super Floatation Technology ensures that the line tip doesn't sink. All lines have a welded loop on each end except on the DT lines where delicacy is of the utmost importance. The unique profile of the double taper easily transfers energy to the tip and, with the longest tapers of all, is the ultimate presentation fly line.

RIO's new indicator line has been designed for the specific application of casting indicator rigs with ease - whether for trout or steelhead. The thick diameter tip and short front taper easily turns over the largest of indicators, while the ultra long head and back taper make it very easy to mend and control the way the fly fishes at great distance. The line is manufactured with RIO's latest high tech coatings: XS Technology for a super slick, dirt repelling coating, AgentX for an ultra smooth surface and high floating running line and Super Floatation Technology that creates a high floating tip. The line also features RIO's DualTone color concept to easily show the angler the perfect loading point for each line size. A welded loop on both ends makes for easy rigging and fast leader changes. The highly visible tip can be used as an indicator - especially when Czech nymphing.
Each line comes packaged with a free indicator leader.
