The Ultimate Sinking Spey Body for total control over fishing depth, swing speed and fishing through variable surface currents. RIO's Elite GameChanger Body is the perfect delivery system for long tapered sink tips, getting flies down in the water column, and lines below variable surface currents. The spey body features RIO's Multi Density Control - a seamless blend of three different densities that ensures the smoothest transition of energy when casting, and the very best depth control when fishing. Say goodbye to hinging, weak casts and poor turnover with these sinking spey bodies. Each built with SlickCast Technology and ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Plus for the maximum in sensitivity and performance. With the GameChanger Body, the wide variety of density options give anglers total control over the depth of fishing, ensuring a straighter line down to the fly, reducing sag typical in single-density lines.

THE ULTIMATE SKAGIT SINKING HEAD FOR ANGLERS NEEDING TO GET FLIES DEEP QUICKLY, SLOWING SWINGS DOWN, AND MAKING SECOND OR THIRD PASSES THROUGH RUNS. Skagit Style - Sinking Shooting Head RIO's Elite Skagit Pickpocket heads are the perfect delivery system for casting heavy sink tips and efficiently getting down in the water column when fishing the bottom is of utmost importance. The heads feature RIO's Multi Density Control - a seamless blend of three different densities that removes the hinge point from head to sink tip, ensures the smoothest transition of energy when casting, and provides the very best depth control when fishing variable currents of pools, runs, and pocket water. With the ability to swing under conflicting surface currents and slow your fly down in colder water conditions, maximum control is best achieved with these sinking heads vs a floating head configuration. In addition, mending control is heightened when using sinking heads, as you can adjust the rear floating section without moving the sinking portions of the line closer to the fly. Head lengths are relatively short, making them easier to lift at the end of a swing for the next cast Powerful taper modeled after the Elite Skagit Max Power turns over the heaviest tips and flies Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection while allowing flies to sink below fast and turbulent surface current Color: Black/Grey/Salmon/Blue Available Models: Line size Rod size Head Length Sink Rate 475gr (30.8g) #7 20ft / 6.1m Float/1.5ips/3ips 500gr (32.4g) #7 20ft / 6.1m Float/1.5ips/3ips 525gr (34.0g) #7/8 20ft / 6.1m Float/1.5ips/3ips 550gr (35.6g) #8 20ft / 6.1m Float/1.5ips/3ips 575gr (37.3g) #8 20ft / 6.1m Float/1.5ips/3ips 600gr (38.9g) #8/9 20ft / 6.1m Float/1.5ips/3ips RIO-Technologies Connect Core PlusRIO’s ConnectCore Plus full-sinking lines open up new worlds of perception and sensitivity with no-stretch performance.

Each size has been meticulously tuned for two criteria. First, a unique series of steps in the taper concentrates weight at the back of the head, putting more weight in the D loop and making it easy to load the rod. Second, the front taper and tip diameters of each head have been selected to turn over delicately for the most graceful presentations. Whether fishing a tapered nylon leader or a slightly heavier VersiLeader, the Scandi Launch delivers flies quietly and efficiently. Fishing “fine and far off” has been the aspiration of two-handed anglers for decades and the Scandi Launch makes it more fun than ever. A shooting line is required to make this head fishable.

The Short Head Spey line from RIO is a very easy casting, traditional style Spey line, which is ideal for Spey casters moving up from easier casting Scandi and Skagit heads. By popular request RIO has made this an interchangeable tip line. The floating running line and body comes complete with a 15ft replacement tip. Anglers just need to switch this tip out with the appropriately sized sink tip to get the utmost in versatility. The line is built with RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the very best in efficiency and load. Length: 33,8 - 36,5 MeterColor: blue / orange / straw   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. AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the line’s coating. After years of experimentation RIO has developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable. Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader.

RIO Elite Skagit Max Power Shooting Head Short, easy casting heads for the biggest flies, and tightest restrictions Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating Ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Designed for shorter Spey rods, tight restrictions, and almost impossibly easy casting High “grains per foot” power, making it ideal for the largest flies, heaviest tips, and toughest winds Complete series of heads with varying lengths and small size increments RIO Skagit Max Power heads cast the largest flies and the heaviest sinking tips with exceptional ease. The unique weight distribution deeply loads rods for long casts while the powerful front taper delivers enough punch to turn over all the weight you need to get the fly into the strike zone. Shorter head lengths make the Max Power the perfect choice for shorter rods or when space behind the caster is limited. 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.

Color: straw (floating) 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. ConnectCoreRIO’s ConnectCore full-sinking lines open up new worlds of perception and sensitivity with no-stretch performance. Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore - The secret weapon for stillwater success. Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader.

The Scandi Short VersiTip shooting head was developed and designed for smaller rivers and tight casting situations. It is one of the easiest casting designs ever made. Including the tips, the whole head length is only 33 ft (10,1 m), which works particularly well on switch rods and shorter, modern spey rods. The head comes with four different 10 ft (305 cm) long tips; a floating, an intermediate, a type 3 and a type 6 densitiy compensated sink tip. The Scandi Short Head can be used also with longer 15 ft tips or with MOW tips if required. This VersiTip system works extremely well on single handed rods, thought users should choose 3 line classes under the Spey AFTMA standard.
