Perfect Fly: Why we endorse Rio Gold Fly Line
We are not especially fond of most of the Rio fly lines except for the Rio Gold Fly Line. They seem to want to sell a fly line for every species of fish that exist. Next thing you know, Rio may have a fly line for bream, another one for shellcrackers and yet another for sunfish. They obviously want you to have a fly line for every occasion.
The Rio Gold Fly line is, in our opinion, the best product Rio has ever come up with. It’s an excellent, all around, general purpose fly line that works well on modern day fly rods that handles many different species of fish. We only sell their Gold Series fly lines. These lines will work great for any species of trout, bass and many other species of fish. We are especially fond of the moss/green color because we think the moss green is about as subdued and unnoticeable as any fly line color.
