RIO Premier Gold XP – Extra Power Meets Total Versatility

The RIO Premier Gold XP fly line brings unmatched flexibility and control to the water. With a mid-length head and half-size heavy weight, this taper supports an impressive variety of techniques. From light indicators to dry-dropper rigs, the Gold XP adapts to the challenges of both short and long-distance casting.

Extra Power, Balanced Feel

Gold XP features a half-size heavy design that delivers additional power without sacrificing presentation. Its balanced body provides the punch needed to turn over weighted rigs, while also allowing delicate drops when fishing smaller dry flies. The extra weight helps load rods quickly, even at close range.

Mid-Length Head for All-Round Performance

The mid-length head makes the line incredibly versatile. Whether casting from the bank or a drift boat, the Gold XP offers controlled turnover with minimal effort. Its structure supports quick shots at nearby targets and long-range casts across wider waters.

Controlled Distance and Mending

The line includes a medium-long rear taper that improves control both in the air and on the water. You’ll find it easier to mend at distance and make smooth roll casts. Even in flowing water, the line keeps its shape for precise line management.

Refined for Versatile Techniques

Gold XP is ideal for dry-dropper setups and light indicators, but it also handles big dries, light streamers, and small dry flies with ease. The mid-length front taper allows for powerful turnover of bulkier rigs, while still enabling finesse casts when needed. Whether you’re fishing mountain streams or larger rivers, Gold XP delivers.
