Rio Elite Trout Spey SHD Shooting Head Floating

Spey or Skagit shooting heads are short, aggressive heads that create a lot of excitement especially when fishing with streamers. The short, heavy heads are extremely easy to get distance from, even with little backspace. In addition, the heads make it possible to carry very heavy flies as well as fast-sinking tips.

The Rio Elite Trout Spey Shooting Head shooting head is such a short, aggresive head. The Trout Spey fly line head is 7m long and has a unique weight distribution to load switch and troutspey rods long and deep for maximum casting distances. In doing so, the cleverly designed taper of the head seamlessly transfers power into the sink tip and to the fly, making incredibly tight, powerful loops possible that maintain full power until the fly is stretched. Due to the low-stretch core of the line, you get incredible sensitivity in the cast but also with every little contact on the fly, allowing you to achieve optimal hooking characteristics. The Rio Elite Trout Spey Shooting Head also features RIO's new SlickCast Coating, the smoothest and most durable coating for fly lines on the market.

If you're familiar with so-called water casts, you should definitely give the Rio Trout Spey fly line a try on a single-handed rod with a mono running line. It's a great way to stream in tight spaces.

Rio Technology:

• Slick Cast
  The name says it all! Rio has really shaken up the fly line market with this new technology. Rio itself advertises it as the smoothest coating on the market. Shootability, noise minimization and durability of the line are improved. We ourselves found the lines so smooth that we had to rein ourselves in a bit at first to avoid overshooting the metaphorical mark. So we can subscribe to Rio's claim

• DirectCore
  Low-stretch braided core for saltwater lines gives you ultimate control over your streamer. The braid is strong and supple in equal measure, even in hot conditions the line offers unrestricted performance. The stretch is reduced by about 30% compared to other lines, so even at long distances the hook can be set immediately.
