Rio Steelhead Scandi Shooting Head


Price: $49.95
Manufacturer: Rio

Product Options

The new Rio Steelhead Scandi shooting head is designed for the Spey and Switch rod Steelhead angler’s specific needs, featuring an overall shorter head length coupled with a shorter front taper making it absolutely ideal for casting Steelhead style flies with Spey VersiLeadeers on Northwest Rivers.   These heads are based upon designs developed by steelhead guide and outfitter John Hazel.  Specific head size options have been carefully designed and fine-tuned for the common rods used by today’s modern Steelhead flyfisher.   Line speed coupled with positive turnover is assured through this new taper.  Anglers can now step into the Deschutes and proclaim “What wind-No Problem!”  Rio’s proprietary XS Technology coupled with Rio’s new Skinny welded loops make these the slickest shooting, easiest use and convertible heads available today.
