RIO Elite Scandi Body
Shooting Head with combined Skagit power and Scandi smoothness.
The Elite Scandi body is a short floating body to which a multitude of tips can be attached. It is the most versatile design of all, and blends Skagit power with Scandi grace. It is ideal for anglers that want to travel light, while covering a range of depths and casting styles. To the front end of the body anglers can attach regular 12ft, 15ft & 18ft sink tips for lighter Scandi-Style presentations, as well as MOW tips, „T“ tips, iMOW tips or VersiLeaders for a more powerful turnover Skagit style casting. All water conditions are covered.
Features and Specifications:
- Multipurpose design casts a wide range of tips
- Printed ID system on the rear of the head for quick recognition
- Loops on both ends for fast rigging
- Slightly shorter bodies at the light end and longer at the heavy end
- Color-coded front loops for easy rigging and simplified matching of MDC tips
- SlickCast: SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market – producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line. What does slick get you? For starters, line flies through the guides with higher line speeds for unprecedented and easy distance. The slick coating also allows anglers to fish more effectively as line slides out of the guides with less friction for extended drag-free drifts.
- Connect Core Plus: Building a better fly line starts at the core, and our low-stretch ConnectCore Plus provides a radical increase in line durability, coating smoothness and overall performance. ConnectCore Plus stretches 30% less than standard cores, and gives anglers all the benefits of a low-stretch core - enhanced sensitivity, less wasted energy and faster hook sets - with a significantly longer lifespan. It also allows hand stretching to easily remove memory coils for a more direct connection to fish and fly. The highest-performing, longest-lasting freshwater lines in the world are built around ConnectCore Plus.
- Easy-ID: RIO’s line marking system that shows anglers the model and line size of the relevant product, neatly printed on the actual fly line itself
