A longer, more traditional bellied line that exudes smooth casting strokes and graceful length casts.

• Heavy-duty front loop on all Spey heads, dual coded for quick sight reference on size and taper
• Heavy-duty rear loop is black for easy overhang positioning, even in low light conditions 
• Patented dual-layer polyurethane construction improves line performance while offering longer line life, UV resistance, and chemical resistance
• Low Strech power core for improved line stability during the cast, less line memory, and positive hook set

Designed for Switch Rods

Designed for switch rods or for shorter two hand rods. They are popular with people getting started with Spey casting or for situations where there is limited room behind the fisherman to make a D Loop. They are the easiest two hand Skagit lines to cast.

Weight forward switch line designed for overhead casting as well as spey casting

Airflo Switch Float Spey Fly Line has become the choice weight forward switch line among anglers. The Switch Float offers anglers a versatile taper line to be used with any switch rod making overhead and spey casting easy and perfect. The low stretch Power Core braid offers superior performance, in the harshest of conditions. Plus, the low stretch braid improves casting control, sensitivity and hook set. To make the Switch Float Spey Fly Line even better, it has the Airflo patented Super-Dri coating to repel water and dirt to keep the line floating greater and shooping father.

Specifically designed to easily load modern switch and short spey rods

New to the two hand game, and aren't quite sure what to line that new switch rod with? We made it easy. An evolutionary step from our popular Skagit Switch design, the Super-Dri Streamer Switch features an aggressive front taper with a shorter, heavier head design to make tip tossing a dream.

Specifically designed to easily load modern switch and short spey rods, the Streamer Switch will help anglers of any level of skill or experience cast more efficiently and effectively.

EASY CASTING, MULTIPLE DENSITY SKAGIT HEADS for large flies and sink tips

RIO's INTOUCH SKAGIT MAX GAMECHANGER heads are the perfect delivery system for casting large flies and sink tips. The heads feature RIO's Multi Density Control - a seamless blend of three or four different densities that ensures the smoothest transition of energy when casting, and the very best depth control when fishing. Say goodbye to hinging, weak casts and poor turnover with these killer heads. Each head is built with an ultra-low stretch core for the maximum in sensitivity and performance.

A shooting line and a sink tip are required to make these heads perform at their best.

The three different density options give angles total control over the depth fished. The F/H/I option is great with an intermediate, type 3 tip, regular iMOW and "T" tips, and swings beautifully between 2ft-4ft. The F/H/I/S3 is ideal for adding type 3 and type 6 tips, as well as regular "T" tips., and good for swinging between 4ft and 8ft down. The fastest sinking, bottom-dredging F/I/S3/S5 head is the best choice for winter fishing and for getting the slowest, deepest swing. With a regular "T" tip on the end, this thing fishes between 8 and 12ft in depth.

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.

Floating Spey Line

The MidSpey floating line, with a sixty-five foot head, fills the gap between the WindCutter and GrandSpey lines. For the spey caster who has mastered the basic techniques and requires a line that will improve both casting and fishing prowess. The head is long enough to mend and precisely control the way the fly fishes, yet short enough to load the rod easily.

Longer belly line

The PowerSpey is Rio's answer for those casters that prefer a longer belly line. A unique taper design makes this an incredibly easy line to spey cast with - at any length - and traditional anglers will love the longer head length for precise fly control and efficient casting. The head varies between 57 ft and 71 ft (depending on the size) and the front taper is perfect for light presentation, yet carries enough power to turn over the largest of flies and cope with unfriendly winds.

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.

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.

The Skagit flight is designed to slow down your swing and give it the most time in the sweet spot.

• Welded loops at both ends for fast rigging
• A complete range of options for all situations
• Add tips and shooting line as neccesary

For anglers using switch rods and shorter spey rods and for tight casting situations the skagit max is the best choice.

• Ultra-low stretch core for the best in casting and fishing sensitivity
• Powerful front end casts fast sinking tips and large flies
• Welded loops for fast rigging 
• ID printed rear loop for fast head recognition: attach this end to the shooting line

Interchangeable Tip Spey Line

The WindCutter VersiTip is the original interchangeable tips spey line, frequently imitated, but never bettered. It has an easy loading head between 48ft and 56ft long (depending on size) and is the most versatile of all spey lines. The line includes a unique middle section (Tip 2) that can be removed to tune the line in for overhead casting, fishing long sink tips, coping with adverse winds or substituted for the sink tip compensator (included).

65-80 ft Taper

The Triangle Taper is a continuous forward taper in the head of the line, which provides the most efficient transfer of casting energy as the line unrolls because heavier line is constantly turning over lighter line. The heaviest part of the line is alwasy farthest from the fish and the lightest part presents the fly with minimum disturbance. Ideal for roll casting, mending and distance.

This line was developed with an extremely short head seamlessly blended into an integrated fast sink tip. The running line has also been integrated to avoid connections getting caught in the guides.
