Best Line I’ve ever Fished

Awesome line
Recently bought this with the intention of using it for streamer fishing. The Rio Gold family is hands down one of the nicest lines I’ve found. It hold up great in the cold waters in northern New Hampshire with these and turns over medium to large Flies with no problem whatsoever.

Best lake line
run this line on my 10' 4w EDC and love how this line loads and roll casts droppers. by far my favorite lake line because of its ability to put light nymph rigs right where I want them.
