RIO's Premier RIO Gold XP fly line is the most versatile taper out of the RIO Gold Multi-purpose fly lines that are available today. The Premier RIO Gold XP has similar taper to the original RIO Gold that everyone knows and loves, but RIO has compressed the overall length and added some weight to the head of the Premier RIO Gold XP. This makes for a really nice casting line that blends both presentation and power, and casts great on just about any fly rod. The Premier RIO Gold XP has a long rear taper which is nice for making mends at long distances, as well as being able to false cast a long distance of line, for deadly accurate long casts, and the extra weight throughout the body of the head will help punch threw any wind that might be present. Grab a Premier RIO Gold XP and see the difference from the old RIO Gold and what it is capable of out on the water! 

Here is what RIO has to say about their Premier RIO Gold XP Fly Line:

With a mid-length head and half-size heavy design, Premier RIO GOLD XP is the most versatile taper in the GOLD lineup. The added “extra power” relative to classic GOLD gives it the flexibility to excel across the widest variety of techniques and casting lengths, offering truly blended performance. Thanks to its medium-long rear taper and a balanced body for improved turnover of indicators and nymphs, Premier GOLD XP is at home sending drys at distance, running heavier rigs pools and making quick shots from drift boats. Premier RIO GOLD XP is still perfectly capable of delivering precise, delicate presentations, while its added weight makes the line fish and cast comfortably at shorter distances, typical of wading on smaller waters.

Choose Premier RIO GOLD XP for Extra Power + Extra Versatility.

  • Mid-length head and half-size heavy weight for carrying a long line comfortably, plus quickly loading rods at short distances
  • Medium-long rear taper for maintaining line control at distance, both in the air and on the water while mending
  • Balanced body blends upfront punch for turning over a range of rigs with enough rear power for short to mid-length shots
  • Mid-length front taper for turning over heavier rigs on shorter leaders powerfully or tiny drys on longer leaders with finesse
