Elite GameChanger Body Shooting Head (F/H/I)

Product information "Elite GameChanger Body Shooting Head (F/H/I)"

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 F/H/I option is great with an intermediate, type 3 tip, and swings beautifully between 2ft-4ft. The F/I/S3 is ideal for adding type 3 and type 6 tips, and good for swinging between 4ft and 8ft down along with a F/S3/S5 for swinging 8ft to 12ft down. Full sinking options are also available with an intermediate I/S2/S3 and fastest sinking, bottom-dredging S3/S5/S7 as the best choice for getting the slowest, deepest swing.

Ambassador Blitz Fly Line

DELIVER BIG FLIES QUICKLY TO POWERFUL, FAST-MOVING FISH WITH WIND-CUTTING EFFICIENCY AND MINIMAL FALSE CASTSThe Blitz line’s short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid- Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.- Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false casts to a minimum- Extended handling section for greater accuracy on long casts and easier pickups on second shots- Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly" Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reachout with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting."- Brian Horsley / RIO Ambassador

Bonefish Fly Line

The demands of bonefishing require a balance of long and short casts with precise presentation. RIO’s Bonefish line does just that, starting with a medium-length front taper to improve turnover without sacrificing presentation, and a slightly longer back taper to smooth out the casting loop. The tropical AgentX coating combined with a Powerflex single-strand monofilament core and the new Extreme Slickness (XS) Technology results in longer casts and a line that will not wilt in most extreme tropical conditions. Includes a welded loop at both ends for easy rigging    RIO-Technologies  AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have 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. 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.  Welded LoopsRIO 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.
