RIO Elite GameChanger Body Shooting Head F/H/I

The GameChanger series by RIO is extremely popular among double-handed casters. Because these shooting heads featuring an innovative Multi-Density technology are incredibly versatile: for salmon, steelhead, sea trout, or trout. The latest version of the GameChanger can again be combined with different sink tips, allowing you to build your own customized Scandi or Skagit setup.

Each RIO Elite GameChanger Body offers you the innovative Multi Density Control - a seamless blend of three different sink rates that ensure the smoothest energy transition when casting and the best depth control when fishing. Say goodbye to snags, powerless casts, and poor turnover with these sinking shooting heads. Each body is equipped with RIO's SlickCast technology and the extremely low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, providing maximum sensitivity and performance.

Rio Technologies:

  • ConnectCore Plus: The Rio Elite shooting heads from the GameChanger series come with a ConnectCore Plus core, which has virtually no stretch. This makes takes much better and faster to detect, hook sets more effective, and line control during casting and swinging improved.
  • SlickCast: Smooth lines have many advantages, such as less dirt on the surface and less wear. In short: longer casts - permanently! The latest generation of lines is equipped with Rio's exclusive SlickCast technology, providing an especially smooth coating that we fly fishers greatly appreciate.

 

F/H/I (Float/Hover/Intermediate): This 3D shooting head is triple graded and suitable for mid-water fishing or when the fly needs to go down during slow flow conditions. A very good all-round head for many situations and rivers. This shooting head is best combined with an intermediate or Sink3 tip. This way, your fly will swing at a water depth of about 60 cm to 120 cm (2ft. - 4ft.).
