Outbound Short Shooting Head (S6)
.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)

| ST8 | 315gr (20.4g) | 9.1m |
| ST9 | 375gr (24.3g) | 9.1m |

RIO Technologies
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.
