Product information "MDC Sink Tips 12ft"

Perfect control and precision with the MDC interchangeable tips.

MDC Tips are the smoothest casting sink tips you'll ever throw thanks to RIO's Multi-Density Control tech. MDC is a system of split densities that creates seamless casting tapers that maximize sink rates where they matter - closer to the fly.

The RIO MDC interchangeable tips offer a progressive design in terms of sink rates. MDC stands for Multi Density Control. Different sink rates within the interchangeable tips allow for direct contact with the bait and absolute depth control. The 12ft tips are designed for switch and light two-handed rods. MDC Tips sync perfectly with RIO's Elite Scandi Body but they also pair well with short-head Skagit systems.

Also available: 18ft tips for heavier two-handed rods. You can find them here.

Features and Specifications:

  • MDC = Multi-Density-Control: Multi Density Control is a combination of different density coatings along the length of a fly line. These different density coatings give anglers complete depth control when swinging a fly on a river, and perfect contact right to the fly. The exceptionally smooth, continuous blend in density changes results in extremely smooth loops while casting.
  • Progressive Density Design: Makes the tip sink faster where it counts (closer to the fly)
  • Front and Back Welded Loops
  • Clear intermediate available in the H/I tips
  • SlickCast: Creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market – producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line.
  • Easy-ID: Line size, length and sink rate of the tips are printed on the line
  • Length: 12ft (3,7m)

Ambassador Blitz Fly Line

DELIVER BIG FLIES QUICKLY TO POWERFUL, FAST-MOVING FISH WITH WIND-CUTTING EFFICIENCY AND MINIMAL FALSE CASTSThe Blitz line’s short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid- Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.- Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false casts to a minimum- Extended handling section for greater accuracy on long casts and easier pickups on second shots- Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly" Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reachout with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting."- Brian Horsley / RIO Ambassador
