Rio Skagit Flight Head

Rio Info: The new Skagit Flight Shooting Head is the ultimate design in Skagit lines for maximum flight time, effortless casting strokes and the tightest and sweetest of loops. Based on the extraordinarily successful AFS head, the line features a back end that loads rods deeply and easily and a long, subtle front taper that ensures the energy flows smoothly to the tip, generating gorgeous loops and long, long flight times and distance. The front end has a thick tip that packs a big punch and easily lifts out heavy tips and large flies with supreme ease.

The heads vary in length between 22.5 ft and 31 ft, depending on the size, and the range of weights (25 grain incriments) ensures that even the most fastidious of casters will be able to tune their rod to perfection.

Attach a shooting line to the ultra strong welded loop at the back end and one of RIO’s 15 ft tips, or new MOW Tips or a piece of  T-8, T-11, T-14 or T-17 (sold separately) to the exceptionally neat, bullet proof welded front loop.

Kiene Info: Rio's new Skagit Flight shooting heads will match any Spey or Switch rod on the market. These lines vary in length and grain weight for a great match for rods from 10'6" to 15' in length. Extremely smooth casting and great at turning over small and big flies.
