Rio Elite Gamechanger Body

Whenever you want complete control over your fishing depth, easy turnover, and smooth casting, Rio's Elite Gamechanger Body is the perfect choice. The Elite Gamechanger Body offers solid versatility, and you can rely on it for presenting a ton of different tips—from heavy level T tips to longer tapered sink tips, this body smoothly handles them all. Featuring Rio's Multi Density Control, the Elite Gamechanger Body has a trio of densities that provide an ultra-smooth transition when casting and a reliable transfer of energy, while a long list of density options allows you to work a range of different current speeds and depths. The Elite Gamechanger Bodies are made in over 35 models and configurations ranging from 400 grains all the way up to 725, each of which includes Rio's SlickCast and ConnectCore for solid slickness with next-to-zero stretch, so whether you're hitting the opposite bank on the Deschutes or coming tight to a chromed-out steelhead, the Elite Gamechanger has you covered.

Features

SlickCast, ConnectCore, and Multi Density Control - For exceptional line slickness and castability, Rio works their SlickCast coating into this series of lines. SlickCast is Rio's proprietary technology that massively increases your line slickness while massively decreasing your line's friction and increasing durability.

With their ConnectCore technology, Rio is able to decrease line stretch by roughly 30% while also increasing your line's coating smoothness, durability, general performance, and sensitivity. ConnectCore is also an excellent feature whenever you're coming tight to a fish and need to deeply set the hook, and it even reduces memory, making hand-stretching your line in between sessions nice and easy without hassle.

Rio's Multi Density technology is a combination of different density coatings worked right into the line. This technology makes things nice and smooth while casting, but also provides direct contact with your fly and excellent depth control when swinging.

Uses

Wet Flies and Streamers - Heavy Intruders on a sink tip, muddlers that are just under the surface, soft hackles midway through the water column, no matter what you're swinging, the Elite Gamechanger Body is sure to make things easy. With a wide range of densities, there's an option in this series whether you need to get deep, work the middle column, or stay just under the water's surface.

Temp

Cold/Moderate - Designed for use in cold to moderate water temps, this family of lines is perfect for year-round salmonid fishing. From the middle of winter to all of your Skamania needs, this line is a great choice for all temps that trout and salmon consider homey.

Taper/Weight

More Mass Towards the Back Body - Aggressive yet smooth, Rio's Elite Gamechanger Body features a bit more mass towards the back of the body. Coming in at a length between 23' and 25' (depending on the model), this series features a smooth transition from the front taper and into the body, before gaining mass at the back body and back taper. This unique configuration provides smooth casting, versatility over a range of tips, and consistent rod loading.
