Rio Scandi VersiTip Body Floating Shooting Head
The Rio Scandi VersiTip Body is a modern shooting head for swinging flies for salmon, sea trout or steelhead. It has a relatively compact design that offers powerful casting properties. In fact, it combines the power of a Skagit head and the delicate presentation of a Scandi shooting head. In other words: the best of two worlds! Therefore, it is very easy to cast, even if there isn’t enough space for a perfect anchor. In addition, all double-handed casting styles can be used to achieve tight loops and impressive distances.
Due to its innovative design, it transports all kinds of tips with ease – for example Rio MOW-Tips, iMOW-Tips, VersiLeaders, T-Tips or tips from other manufacturers. Therefore, it is the perfect centrepiece for an individual multi-tip system that can be configured to match your preferences and a specific type of river. In fact, this floating version is perfect for rather shallow pools and for a fast presentation close to the surface. Thus, it is also great for warmer water temperatures during the summer months.
In short: The Rio Scandi VersiTip Body is compact, powerful and a real pleasure to cast. Combined with a selection of different tips, it enables very effective fishing while offering the highest amount of flexibility. Therefore, it allows you to do whatever the conditions require – no matter what!
