Rio

• Long head and standard weight configuration maximize ability to carry line and mend at distance
• Long rear taper improves long-cast line control, both in the air and on the water when mending
• Front-loaded body loads rods on shorter casts while maintaining the ability to carry long lengths of line
• Mid-length front taper turns over heavier rigs on shorter leaders powerfully or tiny drys on long leaders with finesse

REAR LOADED / FULL SIZE HEAVY
HEAVYWEIGHT POWER

Primary: Heavy Indicator / Big Dry
Secondary: Streamer / Dry Dropper / Light Indicator

At a full line-size heavy, GOLD MAX is RIO’s most powerful all-around taper for delivering plus-size rigs that get bites in fisheries not centered around long leaders and tiny drys. With the shortest head length in the GOLD class, MAX is purpose-built for smoothly loading weightier, unwieldy payloads. The short head carries more weight toward the back of the body so anglers can turn over heavier rigs more efficiently, while the shorter front taper combined with tapered body roll-casts bulkier rigs with ease, mends effortlessly at distance and delivers large drys with finesse. For powerful versatility, GOLD MAX lets you cast more weight under control, while also allowing for presentations decidedly cleaner than overly front-loaded line configurations.

Choose GOLD MAX for Maximum Power + Effortless Performance.

• Compact and powerful, the short head and full-size heavy weight carries heavier flies and rigs with ease
• Short rear taper for easier shooting on longer distance casts
• Rear-loaded body turns over heavier rigs more smoothly than aggressive, front-loaded designs and makes for easy roll casting and mending of the entire head
• Short front taper for more powerful turnover of heavier flies and indicator rigs

½ SIZE HEAVY / EXTRA POWER

Primary: Dry Dropper / Light Indicator
Secondary: Small Dry / Big Dry / Light Streamer

With a mid-length head and half-size heavy design, GOLD XP is the most versatile 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 delivering precise, delicate presentations, while its added weight makes the line fish and cast comfortably at shorter distances, typical of wading on smaller waters.
