RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch

The RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch Shooting Head, allows for smooth casting and the turnover of large tips and heavy flies with ease.

Designed with Rio’s SlickCast technology, this creates a slick, smooth and highly durable coating for easy casting and reduced friction. With ConnectCore technology, this produces a low stretch fly line allowing for easier bite detection and better line feel.

The unique line weight distribution allows the user to deeply load the rod to achieve long powerful casts. Each line also features RIO's EasyID system to allow the angler to quickly identify the head length and weight.

This is an ideal line for casting those heavy tube flies and sink tips long distances effortlessly but still maintaining very low water disturbance. Fitted with front and back welded loops for fast rigging.

The RIO Elite Skagit Max Launch is available in the colour Aqua/Blue with different head weights (in grains) for you to select from our drop down menu.
