THE PERFECT, ALL-AROUND SHOOTING HEAD for anglers using Trout Spey rods—with low-stretch, ultra-slick performance. The Elite Trout Spey Shooting Head has a very easy casting, short head for anglers using light two-handed trout Spey rods, and regular single-handed fly rod (just check the grain weight to match). Each head is built on RIO's ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Plus for maximum sensitivity. Anglers can attach regular leaders, 10ft replacement tips, or Trout VersiLeaders to the front, making these heads perfect for soft hackles and/or small streamers. A shooting line is required to make this head fishable. Ideal for two-handed Trout Spey rods, and single-handed rods Ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Plus for maximum performance Works perfectly with tapered leaders, VersiLeaders and light tips Loops on each end for fast rigging Technology and Features: ConnectCore Plus SlickCast EasyID Front & Back Welded Loop Available Sizes: Grain / Gramm Spey Rod (line class) Single Handed Rod (line class) Head Length 190 / 19,8 #1 #4 23 ft / 7m 230 / 14,9 #2 #5 23 ft / 7m 265 / 17,2 #3 #6 23 ft / 7m 305 / 19,8 #4 #7 23 ft / 7m 350 / 22,7 #5 #8 23 ft / 7m SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market – producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line.ConnectCore Plus: RIO's next-generation, low-stretch core provides a radical increase in line durability, smoothness and performance.Easy ID is RIO’s line marking system that shows anglers the model and line size of the relevant product, neatly printed on the actual fly line itself.

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) Modell Head Weight Full Length ST7 265gr (17.1g) 9.1m ST8 315gr (20.4g) 9.1m ST9 375gr (24.3g) 9.1m ST10 425gr (27.5g) 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 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.

RIO’s 9 Meter-Schussköpfe basieren auf den populären OutBound Short Schnüren. Sie laden  die Rute schnell auf und werfen große Distanzen mit Leichtigkeit. Das Wurfgewicht liegt zwei Schnurklassen über dem AFTM-Standard. Es ist daher nicht nötig, eine oder zwei Schnurklassen höher auszuwählen.   Folgende Varianten sind erhältlich:-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 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.
