Rio Elite GOLD Fly Line Review - We Destroy A Fly Line 

Interesting review and testing. I agree with your thought regarding Tri-Color lines. Recently, I purchased a two-color version of Perception and added two six-inch black zones using a Sharpe. The first zone was at the midpoint of the head and the second was at the end of the head. Doing this approximates the benefit of the tri-color version and makes it easier to find the optimal load point when casting. Here's my opinion regarding SA vs Rio lines. For freshwater, I prefer SA, in particular their Smooth Creek line. However, for saltwater, I like Rio with SlickCast. Comparing Bonefish Quickshooter to Orvis Saltwater Allrounder (with AST Plus) makes it easy to see and feel just how much better the Rio line is when casting. For those who aren't aware, Orvis owns SA.

Terrific review. Love the honesty. Thanks for posting!

Love the “pulling the line from the rocks” ahahaha I do that all the time ! Lol 😂

Good to see an honest review - I want that line!

Interesting review - thank you. I bought one of these lines a week or so ago and used it for the first time yesterday. Casting performance was excellent. Shooting line was easy and I found both accuracy and distance easier to achieve than with my older SA line. One disappointment was to flotation. The Elite Gold supposedly has a special "high float" tip. That seemed to work OK for the first hour and then became progressively more like a midge tip. A wipe down with a microfibre cloth and a light coat of Mucilin set it floating again. In short flotation was no better than the silk line I have taken to using for dry flies where delicacy is more important than distance.

I know it was 2yrs ago but butttt I WANT THAT LINE! Lol I recently bought the elite salmon & steelhead that has a quite unique taper and I’m loving it!!! Next gonna be a integrated sink tip… cool thanks for sharing the video

So basically Rio have admitted their lines were crap , but it's ok people weve made them more durable , but were charging you an extra £25 . Wake up people these lines are a total rip off .

Rio is such a load of crap. SA, Wulff and Cortland lines have lasted me 30 years, and if Rio is still working on durability, the question is: will they EVER get it right, or is this just another gimmick to flood the market with their half-baked products. I definitely don't want the line.
