RIO Elite Scandi Outbound Hover Fly Line

The RIO Elite Integrated Scandi Outbound Hover is a high-performance, integrated Scandi shooting head specifically designed to give anglers ultimate depth control without compromising castability.

This Hover density version comes into its own on windy days, in cooler temperatures, and when fishing in higher or heavier flows.

This line is engineered as an integrated system, meaning the Scandi head is permanently attached to the running line. This critical feature eliminates the frustration of having loop-to-loop joins running through your rod guides, ensuring a cleaner, more efficient casting stroke.

The Scandi head design is incredibly easy to cast, quickly loading a Spey rod and featuring a weight distribution that effortlessly turns over flies with precision.

For the 2026 model, the line has been significantly upgraded: the running line is now RIO’s acclaimed Elite Metered Shooting Line, which changes colour every 10 feet. This valuable feature allows you to improve distance control and judgment, helping maintain consistent casting performance across sessions.

The entire line is built with RIO’s most advanced technology: SlickCast—the slickest and most durable coating on the market—and ConnectCore Plus, RIO’s ultra-low stretch core. This core offers exceptional sensitivity for detecting subtle takes and enhances line control.

The Hover line sinks very slowly, offering added control when just a tiny bit more depth is needed, and it works exceptionally well with RIO VersiLeaders for increasing depth control.
