Add SlickCast and and ConnectCore Plus and you have the best all around trout line you can buy. The Elite RIO GOLD is the “gold standard” for trout tapers. “This ensures that the line remains as slick as the day it was made–giving anglers many years of high performance and easy distance.”Īdditional features to new SlickCast lines are MaxFloat Tip, Surefire triple color marking system, front and back welded loops, DUALTONE and Easy ID. In addition SlickCast continuously releases “slickening” agents that migrate to the lines surface. SlickCast coated lines are the slickest lines that have ever been on the market. ConnectCore Plus stretches 30% less than standard cores, and gives anglers all the benefit of a low-stretch core–enhance sensitivity, less wasted energy and faster hook sets–with a significantly long lifespan.” “ConnectCore Plus provides a radical increase in line durability, coating smoothness and overall performance.

The key difference between the Elite and the Premier series is Elite lines have low stretch ConnectCore Plus. The eight are further divided into two series, Elite and Premier. All are existing proven tapers anglers have come to know and love. There are eight new fly lines from RIO with SlickCast technology. The line remained slick as hell and flew through the guides. The SlickCast lines performed like a new line for the entire time I had in on the lake despite no cleaning. The other situation is fishing a lake with lots of floating algae. The extremely low friction created by SlickCast really does the trick when you want to go from 15ft to 40ft on a bank on a dime.

The first is the lines “shootability” from short with a hopper dropper rig, to getting longer quickly with one false cast. I have noticed a couple of fishing situations where the SlickCast has really made a difference. For full disclosure I have had The Elite GOLD 5wt on my Winston Air, Echo Trout and Sage X. The lines I have fished have floated beautifully and cast even better. After approximately 70 hours of fishing time with the line there is no noticeable reduction in slickness, cracking or any sort of wear.

The coating has withstood being ground into the powered coated diamond plate floor of my drift boat better than any line before. The new SlickCast technology is a difference maker in slickness that you can feel from the very first cast. I have had the opportunity to test RIO’s new RIO GOLD Elite and Premier RIO GOLD lines with SlickCast.
