Product information "Rio Elite Scandi Launch Float Shooting Head Floating "
Scandi heads are the perfect choice for fishing in low water conditions with long leaders and small flies. They excel in providing incredibly good line turnover and making casting extremely easy. Whether in Norway for summer salmon or on local streams for trout, Scandi heads offer versatile applications. They are increasingly being used in many smaller Danish rivers for salmon and sea trout fishing, and with great success!
The Rio Elite Scandi Launch Float is a 9.8m - 13.1m long shooting head with a unique weight distribution to load switch and two-handed rods long and deep, achieving maximum casting distances. The cleverly designed taper seamlessly transfers power into the leader and to the fly, allowing for incredibly tight, powerful loops that maintain full power until the fly is extended. The extended front taper ensures a smooth turnover. The low-stretch core of the line provides incredible sensitivity in casting and every subtle contact with the fly, allowing for optimal hook-setting properties. The RIO Scandi Launch features the new SlickCast Coating from RIO, the smoothest and most durable coating for fly lines on the market - making shooting line enjoyable!
Rio Technologies:
-
SlickCast: True to its name, this new technology from Rio has shaken up the fly line market. Rio advertises it as the smoothest coating on the market, improving shootability, reducing noise, and enhancing the line's durability. We found the lines to be so smooth that we had to restrain ourselves initially to avoid metaphorically overshooting the target. We can attest to Rio's claim.
-
DirectCore: With the low-stretch braided core for saltwater lines, you have ultimate control over your streamer. The braid is strong and supple, offering unrestricted performance even under hot conditions. The stretch is reduced by about 30% compared to other lines, allowing for immediate hook setting even at long distances.
