rusty Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I have that Rio Gold in a #6 and don't like it at all. It would be a great dry fly presentation line but I didn't like the way it loaded the rod for nymphing or streamer fishing. Very supple line though, and many people really like it. I'll sell you a used once Rio Gold line for $50 if you'd prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 What type of fishing are you planning on doing? I haven't tried out the Gold yet, but I do have favour for most other RIO lines like the Selective Trout and the Nymph lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwaterguy Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 May I suggest the Triangle Taper fly line from Wulff product. I have been using these lines for about 20 years and I think they are one of the best lines around. You can buy a TT-6-F at Wholesale for $46.99. Great line !

maxwell Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 i liked the rio gold and will agree with what others said... its a weird line thats forsure... might toss better on my 6wt if i put a 7wt line.... really lightweight with a slight even taper.. the rio grande is a great line tho!... best part was the 2 toned head on teh gold so u know were too stop feeding out line and start shooting the head... i would stick with the ultra 4... have used it in teh past and had no problems with it at all... better yet i love my aircel! still on most of my sticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
