Outbound Short Shooting Head moss (floating)
.jpg){kind=logo}
RIO’s shooting heads are based on the popular OutBound short lines, and are designed to load rods quickly and to cast very long distances. The heads are built two sizes above the AFTM standard to correctly load modern rods - anglers do not need to step up a line size when choosing a line for their rod, at this is done in the design.
Sinking rates:
-floating
-intermediate (3-5 cm / s)
-sinking type 3 DC (8-10 cm/s)
-sinking type 6 DC (15-18 cm/s)

Technologys
XS (Extreme Slickness)
The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a generation of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance.
Density Compensated (only "S6")
RIO’s Density Compensation adds a more dense material to the thin tip, which ensures the line sinks straight.
Welded Loops
RIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.

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.
