Premier Gold (melon/gray dun - floating) Fly Line

For more than 20 years, RIO has demonstrated passion, innovation and a pure love for the sport through its development of the industry's highest performance fly lines. And the great news is, we will continue to research, design and refine our products to ensure they are your preferred line of choice for years to come.Product development like that won't happen all by itself – that level of commitment is going to require thousands more hours on the water – but somebody's got to do it, and that somebody is RIO. No matter what line family, price level or quality RIO fly line you choose, you can fish happy in the knowledge that every single fly line is made in our Idaho Falls facility – close to the banks of our premium testing grounds, the Henry’s Fork and the South Fork of the Snake in Idaho. Fly line manufacturing is a complicated business requiring incredibly sophisticated machinery.RIO spends thousands of hours on the water researching, designing & refining products.

KEEP YOUR FLY LINE SLICK AND CLEAN The AgentX Line Dressing is specifically formulated to enhance the performance of all modern fly lines. Treated lines will cast farther, remain clean longer and float higher than untreated lines. RIO’s proprietary AgentX formulation features lubricants used in the new AgentX lines that will keep the line slick and clean longer than competitors’ dressings. Easy to apply with a soft cloth. Allow 30 minutes or so to dry before buffing off. One oz bottle.

DELIVER BIG FLIES QUICKLY TO POWERFUL, FAST-MOVING FISH WITH WIND-CUTTING EFFICIENCY AND MINIMAL FALSE CASTSThe Blitz line’s short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid- Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.- Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false casts to a minimum- Extended handling section for greater accuracy on long casts and easier pickups on second shots- Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly" Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reachout with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting."- Brian Horsley / RIO Ambassador

An all-purpose trout line with an easy casting taper and a supple, coldwater coating. This line is ideal for fishing streamers to trout and steelhead and will get the fly down to the strike zone, while the floating section makes it easy to mend and control the fly. Colour: black/pale yellowLength: 27,4 m Tip: The 300 gr is the perfect pike sink tip line!! Processed RIO-Technologies The Avid is the lowest priced RIO line, which is equipped with the AgentX and XS-Technology.   AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable.

RIO Avid Trout WF Fliegenschnur Die Avid ist eine Allround-Schnur, die sehr leicht zu werfen ist. Ihr geschmeidiges, selbstschmierendes Coating ist unglaublich glatt, AgentX sorgt für das "Extra" an Entfernung. Das Taperkonzept ermöglicht das genaue Präsentieren und Werfen von Fliegen aller gängigen Größen. Die Avid ist etwas schwerer als die AFTMA-Klassen, wodurch sie besonders für moderne, schnelle Ruten geeignet ist.   Verarbeitete RIO-Technologien Die Avid ist die preisgünstigste RIO Schnur, die bereits über AgentX und XS-Technologie verfügt.    AgentXUm Fliegenschüre schwimmfähig zu machen werden traditionellerweise gasgefüllte Glasperlen (sog. microspheres) in das Coating einer Schnur gemischt. Nach jahrelangen Experimenten ist es RIO gelungen ein Element zu entwickeln, das sechsmal mehr Auftriebskraft hat als jenes, das von den Mitbewerbern verwendet wird. Es war aber noch ein weiter Weg um dieses Element in den Herstellungsprozess der Schnüre zu integrieren. Mit der sogenannten Fusion Technology wird super schwimmendes Untercoating mit ultraglattem Außencoating verbunden. Das Ergebnis sind die glattesten, haltbarsten und höchst schwimmenden Schnüre, die man sich vorstellen kann. XS (Extreme Slickness)Fliegenfischer sind immer auf der Suche nach einer glatten Schnur. Glatte Schnüre bieten neben weiteren Würfen eine Vielzahl von weiteren Vorteilen für den Fischer. In den Labors von RIO wurden die verschiedensten Materialzusammenstellungen erprobt, bis es nach vielen Experimenten, sowohl im Labor als auch in der Praxis, das Geheimnis der XS-Technologie gefunden war. Das Ergebnis sind Schnüre, deren Oberfläche fühlbar glatter ist. In der Praxis führt dies zur besseren Schnurkontrolle, weniger Verschleiß, Verschmutzung und Reibungswiderstand in den Ringen. Und für uns als Fliegenfischer zu weiteren Würfen.  Welded LoopsDurch RIO’s Pionierleistung wurde ein bahnbrechendes Verfahren zum Verschmelzen der Schnurenden zu Schlaufen entwickelt. Mit Schlaufen versehene Schnurspitzen schwimmen besser und ermöglichen ein schnelles Wechseln von Vorfächern. Es werden beinahe alle Schnüre (den Hinweis entnehmen Sie bitte dem jeweiligen Schnur-Diagramm) mit den Welded Loops geliefert.

The demands of bonefishing require a balance of long and short casts with precise presentation. RIO’s Bonefish line does just that, starting with a medium-length front taper to improve turnover without sacrificing presentation, and a slightly longer back taper to smooth out the casting loop. The tropical AgentX coating combined with a Powerflex single-strand monofilament core and the new Extreme Slickness (XS) Technology results in longer casts and a line that will not wilt in most extreme tropical conditions. Includes a welded loop at both ends for easy rigging    RIO-Technologies  AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable. XS (Extreme Slickness)The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a ge­neration of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance.  Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
