RIO AFS Shooting Head Kit

The RIO AFS Shooting Head Kit Floating is the definitive all-in-one package for Spey anglers seeking effortless distance and flawless presentation. This kit is a ready-to-go solution, designed with a traditional long-tapered Scandinavian profile that has been the benchmark for performance and ease of use. It's the ideal choice for both seasoned salmon fishing enthusiasts and beginners alike who want a complete, high-quality setup straight out of the box.

Effortless Casting & Flawless Presentation: The AFS (Advanced Flight Spey) head is designed for incredibly easy loading, helping anglers of any skill level make long, effortless casts. Its long, fine front taper generates tight loops that unroll with grace and control, delivering your fly with the delicate presentation needed to fool wary salmon.

Complete, Ready-to-Fish Kit: This kit provides everything you need to get started with a floating shooting head system. It includes:

1x AFS Shooting Head (Green/Yellow)
1x Powerflex Running Line
3x Versileaders in a convenient mesh leader wallet, giving you immediate versatility to fish at different depths.

ConnectCore Technology: The head is built with RIO's acclaimed ConnectCore technology, a low-stretch core that provides superior sensitivity. This allows you to feel gentle takes and subtle movements with improved bite detection, leading to better hook-up rates and enhanced control when fighting a fish.

AgentX Slick Line Coating: The head is finished with RIO's AgentX slick line coating, which creates a super-smooth surface for minimal friction. This slick finish allows for higher line speeds and longer, more efficient casts.

EasyID: RIO's printed line marking system on the rear loop allows for quick and easy identification of the line's weight.

Front/Back Welded Loops: The head is equipped with bulletproof welded loops on both the front and back for fast, strong, and easy loop-to-loop rigging to your running line and leader.

The Perfect All-Rounder: While the AFS heads are the very best for presentation, their versatility makes them a fantastic all-rounder for salmon fly fishing in a wide range of river conditions. Whether you're targeting salmon in large open rivers or in a small river with tight casting spaces, this kit provides the control and performance you need to succeed.
