Rio Elite Scandi Body

RIO Elite Scandi Body is a series of Scandi style shooting head bodies that combines Skagit power with Scandi grace, and designed for the maximum in versatility with the ability to add balanced floating and sinking tips to. An angler equipped with an Elite Scandi Body and a set of different density tips is covered for a wide variety of water heights, fishing conditions and seasons.

The Scandi head design is incredibly easy to cast and built to load a Spey rod quickly and efficiently, tapered to deliver tight loops that unroll effortlessly, and with a weight distribution that will turn over balanced tips and flies with exceptional ease.

Available in three densities, Floating, Hover/Intermediate, and Intermediate/Sink 3 the Elite Scandi Body covers the needs of most salmon and sea trout anglers. The floating body excels in summer conditions and lower water, and provides perfect presentation of small to medium flies, while the hover/intermediate body sinks slowly and comes into its own on windy days, in cooler temperatures, and when fishing in bigger flows. The Intermediate/Sink 3 body is the perfect choice for early season, deep pools, and in higher water heights.

It is an exceptionally versatile solution for anglers who need precise control over depth, swing, and presentation in two-handed setups. Designed as the complete delivery system for long, tapered sink tips, these bodies are the perfect engine to propel a wide range of sinking tips across to the far bank and offers the opportunity to present flies at a multitude of depths - all in a single line system.

The perfect tips for the Scandi Body are RIO’s new 12ft dual density and 18ft triple density MDC tips, with the 12ft tips being the ideal choice for Switch rods and two-handed rods less than 13ft, and the 18ft tips being a much better option on double handed rods of 13 feet and longer. The head was meticulously designed to match these MDC tips, and adding the correctly sized tip to a body will ensure the smoothest possible turnover, the longest flight time, and efficient, effortless casting strokes.

The front loop of the Scandi Body has a colour coded sleeve that matches the sleeve colour on the back end of the correctly sized tapered tips, ensuring anglers have a very easy way to identify and balance their line system to perfection.

Built on RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Plus, the line provides enhanced sensitivity for detecting subtle takes, setting hooks with confidence, and maintaining control when playing fish.
