Rio Elite Trout Spey SHD Shooting Head Floating
Product information "Rio Elite Trout Spey SHD Shooting Head Floating"
Spey or Skagit shooting heads are short, aggressive heads that are particularly popular when fishing with streamers. The short, heavy heads are extremely easy to cast at long distances even with little backspace. The heads also make it possible to transport very heavy flies and fast sinking tips.
The Rio Elite Trout Spey Shooting Head is just such a short, aggressive head. The head of the Trout Spey fly line is m long and has a unique weight distribution to load switch and trout spey rods long and deep for maximum casting distances. The cleverly designed taper of the head transfers power seamlessly to the sink tip and fly, creating incredibly tight, powerful loops that retain full power until the fly is stretched. Thanks to the low-stretch core of the line, you get incredible sensitivity in the cast but also with even the smallest contact on the fly and can therefore achieve optimum hooking characteristics. The Rio Elite Trout Spey Shooting Head also features Rio's new SlickCast coating, the smoothest and most durable coating for fly lines on the market.
If you are familiar with the so-called water casts, you should definitely try the Rio Trout Spey fly line on a single-handed rod with a mono running line. A great way to stream in the tightest of spaces.
Rio Technology:
- Slick Cast
The name says it all! Rio has really shaken up the fly line market with this new technology. Rio itself advertises it as the smoothest coating on the market. It improves the shooting ability, noise minimisation and durability of the line. We ourselves found the lines so smooth that we had to restrain ourselves a little at first so as not to overshoot the metaphorical target. So we can endorse Rio's claim
- DirectCore
The low-stretch braided core for saltwater lines gives you ultimate control over your streamer. The braid is strong and supple at the same time, and the line offers unrestricted performance even in hot conditions. The stretch is reduced by around 30% compared to other lines, so that the hook can be set immediately even at long distances.
