RIO Products Elite Gold XP Fly Fishing Line - Extra Power and Versatility - Smooth Casting Fly Line - WF8F
Features
- + With a mid-length head and half-size heavy design, GOLD XP is the most versatile trout 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, GOLD XP is at home sending drys at distance, running heavier rigs though deeper pools and making quick shots from drift boats.
- + GOLD XP is still perfectly capable of laying down precise presentations with delicacy, while its added weight makes the line fish and cast comfortably at shorter distances, typical of wading on smaller waters.
- + We have a fantastic selection of the highest quality freshwater fly lines, designed to optimize your time on the water. All of our freshwater fly lines are designed to excel at required casting and fishing needs and feature cutting-edge technology for maximum versatility and performance. Make the cast of your dreams with RIO's freshwater fly lines.
The RIO Elite Gold XP WF8F combines the precision of a classic weight-forward line with extra power for versatile Great Lakes steelhead fishing. Its mid-length head and half-size heavy design excels at turning over larger flies and indicators while maintaining delicate presentations when needed. Perfect for swinging streamers through deeper runs or delivering nymphs with precision from drift boats on steelhead rivers.
