Powerful, long-distance delivery

Folks have been asking us to develop a line that will give them more distance and offer more control once the line is on the water - and we've been listening.

We stretched and tweaked DNA from the popular Scandi Compact until we had a line that would load like the shorter Scandi but with additional length to allow users to form a deeper "D" or "V" Loop and cast father than ever before.

Designed to take advantage of modern two-handed rods that generate higher line speeds, these heads are perfect for surface and near-surface presentation, and will even turn over sinking Polyleaders when fish aren't feeding up top. With the new Scandi Long, the opposite bank is now part of the playing field.

Big Casts, Big Water, More Fishing, Less Shooting.

Longer heads are having a resurgence in popularity and today's Spey Casters are once again enjoying the benefits that longer heads provide. Today's mid-length heads are more user friendly and easier to cast then the ones anglers remember from the past.

Traditionally inspired but modern in design, the Mainstem Spey Line is a mid length, full floating shooting head. Its taper efficiently delivers a monofilament leader and traditional wet or dry fly cleanly at moderate to extended distances. The Mainstem features powerful turnover and excellent distance potential for any time that target is just a little (or a lot) further out than usual. Recommended for rod lengths 13 ft 6" and longer for best performance and ease of use.

LONG LINE ADVANTAGES IN SHORT LINE TERRITORY.

The Tributary Spey Line is an easy casting, medium-short shooting head that strikes an appreciable balance between lines both long and short. Designed as a full floating head the Tributary is geared for moderate to large sized rivers and small to medium sized flies fished on monofilament leaders or light polyleaders. Line lengths in this range of shooting heads are geared to fit the most common North American rod sizes. 

This design features a powerful and efficient taper that produces long powerful casts and positive turnover with reduced casting effort, a great way to enjoy some of the benefits of a longer head without the steep learning curve. Recommended for rod lengths 12 ft and above.

High performance spey lines

Within the 65 foot range we have added a high visibility orange head, 10/11 Pro Line. This line differs from the other lines in that it has longer front and rear tapers which allows us to use less mass within the line body, thus reducing line sag and maximising the flight and shape of the line. This ensures a very tight loop formation during casting - ideal for the caster who likes to clearly see the path their line takes during demonstration casting and fishing situations.

High performance spey lines

In the development of our Jetstream range we have managed to incorporate some exceptional qualities that have set the Carron Jetstream range of lines apart from other fly line manufacturers.

The unique coating of our Jetstream lines gives the angler a supple, smooth running and memory free line that flows with ease and guarantees perfect presentation with every cast.

The angler also has the added comfort in that the extra length in the line allows him to play a fish in the knowledge that he does not have to worry about backing and knots coming adrift.

AN EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE, MULTIPLE DENSITY Scandi head for total depth and fly control

After years of success as the secret weapon of European anglers, we are proud to introduce our multi-density Scandi 3D shooting heads to everyone else. Seamlessly integrating three different densities along the length of a single head, RIO's InTouch Scandi 3D heads cut through wind and current, and let you swing the fly deep without snagging bottom when the current slows. We build these lines around our ultra-low-stretch ConnectCore for enhanced sensitivity, easier mends, and faster hook sets. In short, Scandi 3Ds revolutionize how we fish rivers at depth, and change the very definition of "fly water."
 
Floating/Hover/Intermediate: The ideal head for swinging flies in the top three feet of the water column. The floating back portion makes mending and pickups easy, while the hover midsection and intermediate tip keeps the fly fishing below the surface.
 
Hover/Intermediate/Sink 3: This head is built for deeper presentations or heavier currents, swinging the fly, on average, two to five feet below the surface. The Hover back section allows for easy casting and line control, while the intermediate mid-section and Sink 3 tip hold the fly at fish level.
 
Intermediate/Sink 3/Sink 5: When you really have to get down to the fish, this is the fastestsinking, deepest-fishing head we make. It swings the fly, on average, between four and 10 feet deep, and yet the graduated density still allows for outstanding line control and easy casting.

An easy casting traditional style Spey line design with a short head, and interchangeable tip versatility

The InTouch Short Head Spey line from RIO is a very easy casting, traditional style Spey line with a short head that is ideal for Spey casters moving up from easier casting Scandi and Skagit heads. The head length varies between 40 ft and 50 ft, depending on line size, and it is a great choice of traditional Spey line for anglers using shorter rods and when fishing in tight quarters. The line has an integrated running line built in, and is an interchangeable tip style line - meaning the front 15ft floating tip is attached to the line with a loop-to-loop connection, allowing anglers to switch tips according to water conditions and guide recommendations. RIO recommends the 15ft InTouch replacement tips as the best options for this. The line is built with RIO's ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the very best in efficiency and load.

A versatile body that combines Skagit power with Scandi grace.

The 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, yet have multiple fishing options. To the front end of the body anglers can attach regular 10 ft & 15 ft tips, MOW tips, "T" tips, iMOW tips or VersiLeaders, so all water conditions are covered. For an accurate guideline of which tips match best to which body, check out the document "Making sense of RIO's Spey Offerings" at Spey Central. A versatile floating body that combines Skagit power with Scandi grace.

An easy casting shooting head designed for effortless distance and great presentation.

The RIO Scandi head is a very easy casting Scandi style shooting head, built on RIO's ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the utmost in casting control and sensitivity. "Scandi" style heads feature long, fine front tapers that unroll with ease, remain stable and smooth throughout the casting stroke and are very easy, and pleasant to cast.
Scandi heads are the best line in tight casting situations and a particularly good choice on smaller rivers, and for novice to average casting skills - particularly when smaller and unweighted flies are used. They are not the right choice of head for windy days, or for casting big flies and fast sinking tips.In these situations a Skagit head would be a far better choice.

An easy casting shooting head designed for effortless distance and great presentation.

THE RIO SCANDI head is a very easy casting Scandi style shooting head, built on RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the utmost in casting control and sensitivity. It is available in a multitude of lengths and weights to cover all rod and angling situations. For tight casting spots and the utmost in ease of casting use a head length that is between 2.5 and 3 times the length of the rod, thus a 12 ft rod would work best with a head that is between 30 and 36 ft in length. The shorter the head length, the tighter the back casting space an angler can fish in. With more room and better casting skills a longer head provides the angler with less line to strip in between each cast and more fishing time.
