RIO Elite Scandi Launch Shooting Head

Introducing the RIO Elite Scandi Launch Shooting Head, a game-changer for fly anglers seeking the ultimate effortless long distance cast.

Each size of the Scandi Launch Shooting Head has undergone meticulous tuning to meet two crucial criteria. Firstly, the taper features a unique series of steps that strategically concentrates weight towards the rear of the head. This ingenious design ensures more weight resides in the D loop, making it a breeze to load your rod.

The front taper and tip diameters of every head have been thoughtfully selected to deliver delicate turnovers, resulting in the most graceful and precise presentations possible. Whether you're casting a tapered nylon leader or opting for a slightly heavier VersiLeader, the Scandi Launch excels at delivering your flies quietly and efficiently.

Achieving optimal depth control and presentation is effortless with the Scandi Launch. Pair it with RIO VersiLeaders (available separately) to enhance your fishing experience. RIO offers two options: the RIO Medium VersiLeader, ideal for Scandi lines #8 and below, and the RIO Heavy VersiLeader, perfect for Scandi lines #9 and above.

With a higher tip diameter, the Scandi Launch handles long tapered leaders and heavier VersiLeaders with ease. Its unique taper not only facilitates easier loading for powerful casts but also ensures that weight is strategically placed in the D loop.

Experience maximum performance with RIO's ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Plus technology. This advanced feature provides enhanced sensitivity, control, and responsiveness, allowing you to connect with every subtle movement below the water's surface.

The Scandi Launch Shooting Head is built with RIO's exceptionally slick and durable SlickCast coating. This coating enhances casting efficiency and ensures long-lasting performance.

The Scandi Launch comes equipped with EasyID, a convenient system that allows you to quickly and easily identify each line. Additionally, it features a front welded loop for fast rigging and a back welded loop for easy connection to backing.

The RIO Elite Scandi Launch Shooting Head is available in a range of line weights for you to choose from in our drop down menu and comes in a Pale Green/Blue colour.
