Description / RIO AFS Shooting Head
Easy Casting Design: The AFS Shooting Head is an easy loading line that makes long, powerful casts feel effortless, regardless of your casting skill level. Its rear-weighted design loads the rod quickly and efficiently, allowing you to cast farther with less fatigue.
Superior Presentation: The long, fine front taper is the secret to the AFS's exceptional presentation. It unrolls gracefully, turning over your fly with perfect delicacy. This is a crucial advantage when targeting wary fish that spook easily, ensuring your fly lands softly and naturally on the water.
EasyID: RIO's printed line marking system is a simple yet invaluable feature. It allows you to quickly and easily identify each line, preventing any guesswork on the water.
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 shooting line and leader. This provides a seamless connection and eliminates the hassle of knot tying on the water.
Versatility & Dependability: While many original AFS heads have been updated, the classic floating AFS heads remain a popular and highly effective choice. They are designed to be paired with VersiLeaders or tapered leaders, giving you the versatility to fish at different depths without having to change your entire line.
The RIO AFS Shooting Head IS available in a range of sizes for you to choose from in our drop down menu. Its balanced, easy-casting design makes it an indispensable tool for any angler seeking to improve their Spey casting and command the water with confidence.
