Let's talk fly lines. Specifically, the RIO Gold, RIO Grand, RIO Perception and RIO Technical Trout fly lines. Nearly every freshwater floating line application is covered by these modern classics. Luckily for us, our good friends at RIO Products never settle and we just received a shipment of their brand new ELITE fly line series. RIO has kept everything we love about the aforementioned tapers and have boosted on-the-water performance and durability with use of their brand new proprietary slickness additive: SlickCast.

Fly lines made with SlickCast technology are ultra-slick and incredibly durable. That means longer casts, more efficient casting strokes and easier mending. Additionally, the SlickCast coatings are incredibly tough, durable and long-lasting. RIOs tests show that lines with a SlickCast coating last 140% longer in an abrasion test than everything else we tested.

The all-new series of ELITE fly lines from RIO are not only finished with SlickCast, but RIO has also improved on their innovative low-stretch ConnectCore technology with ConnectCorePlus. This means the all-new ELITE series featured the added benefit of having incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and providing enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish.
