Rio Elite Integrated Skagit Mini Max Fly Line

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, Skagit heads make it possible to carry very heavy flies as well as fast-sinking tips.

The Rio Elite Integrated Skagit Mini Max fly line is such a short, aggresive Skagit head, in combination with an integrated runningline-ready to go. The Skagit Mini Max fly line head is 5.1m - 5.5m long with a unique weight distribution to load switch and short two-handed 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 in every little contact on the fly, allowing you to achieve optimal hooking characteristics. The RIO Skagit head also features RIO's new SlickCast Coating, the smoothest and most durable coating for fly lines on the market.

But not only on Switch or fine two-handed rods makes the Skagit fly line a good figure, also on medium-heavy single-handed rods the line works perfectly and is used by many fly fishermen and fly fisherwomen on densely grown streams in the hunt for large streamer trout - and with success!

Rio Technology:

• Slick Cast
  The name says it all! With this new technology, Rio has really shaken up the fly line market. Rio itself advertises it as the smoothest coating on the market. Shootability, noise minimization and longevity 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.
