RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch Shooting Head
Smooth casting Skagit heads, perfectly balanced for the appropriate sink tips
- Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating Ultra-low stretch ConnectCore
- Taper designed to perfectly match typical Skagit tips for exceptionally smooth energy transfer from head to tip to fly
- Sophisticated body design and taper gives long flight times and effortless distance
- Complete series of heads with varying lengths and small size increments
RIO Skagit Max Launch heads deliver the power needed to cast large flies and sinking tips more elegantly than ever before. The unique weight distribution deeply loads rods for long, powerful casts, while the refined taper design generates incredibly smooth loops which transition seamlessly from head to tip to fly. The low stretch core gives incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and provides enhanced detection of takes, more positive hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish.
In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

Product development like that won't happen all by itself – that level of commitment is going to require thousands more hours on the water – but somebody's got to do it, and that somebody is RIO. No matter what line family, price level or quality RIO fly line you choose, you can fish happy in the knowledge that every single fly line is made in our Idaho Falls facility – close to the banks of our premium testing grounds, the Henry’s Fork and the South Fork of the Snake in Idaho. Fly line manufacturing is a complicated business requiring incredibly sophisticated machinery.
RIO spends thousands of hours on the water researching, designing & refining products.
