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.

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.
ConnectCore
RIO’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 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.
