Description / RIO Scandi Short VersiTip

The RIO Scandi Short VersiTip is the ultimate package designed specifically for Switch/Short Spey anglers, providing a complete and ready-to-go head and tip setup. This versatile line system combines the elegance of a Scandinavian Head with the power of a Skagit, delivering exceptional performance and effortless casting.

The Scandi Short VersiTip is perfectly suited for rods up to 13 feet in length, making it ideal for Switch rods and short double-handed rods. With its easy loading design, this line helps anglers achieve long, effortless casts, even in tight spaces where casting room is limited.

This comprehensive package includes a balanced set of four interchangeable 10-foot tips, each serving a specific purpose on the water. The tips provided are a floating tip, intermediate tip, type 3 sinking tip, and type 6 sinking tip. These tips are conveniently stored in a mesh wallet, ensuring easy access and organisation.

To match the Scandi Short VersiTip with a single-handed rod, simply choose a size that is three sizes smaller than your rod's AFTM rating. For example, if you have a 10-foot 8-weight single-handed rod, you would select the SSV5 line.

The Scandi Short VersiTip features RIO's innovative EasyID printed line marking system, allowing anglers to quickly and easily identify each line and its corresponding tip. This eliminates any confusion and ensures you can make quick line changes on the water.

The line is equipped with front and back welded loops, providing a secure and convenient connection for fast rigging. The front loop allows for easy attachment of leaders and other terminal tackle, while the back loop facilitates quick rigging to the backing.

In addition, the Scandi Short VersiTip incorporates density compensation, which adds a denser material to the thin sink tips. This feature ensures that the line sinks straight, providing optimal presentation and control.

To complete the setup, a matching running line is required (not included). Simply pair the Scandi Short VersiTip with a suitable running line to enjoy its full potential.

Whether you're targeting trout, salmon, or steelhead, the RIO Scandi Short VersiTip offers the perfect balance of grace and power, making it the ultimate choice for Switch/Short Spey anglers. Elevate your casting game and experience the versatility of this exceptional line system.

Review by Neil
This is a brilliant line for a switch rod and if I only had one line it would be this one. It is extremely easy to cast and turns over tips and large flies with good presentation. The line match on sage switch rods is spot on. An 8wt on the 8wt rod is perfect
