RIO Outbound Short Shooting Head (floating / intermediate / sinking type 3 / sinking type 6)

RIO’s shooting heads are based on the popular OutBound short lines, and are designed to load rods quickly and to cast very long distances. The heads are built two sizes above the AFTM standard to correctly load modern rods - anglers do not need to step up a line size when choosing a line for their rod, at this is done in the design.

Sinking rates:

floating
intermediate (3-5 cm)
sinking type 3 DC (8-10 cm/s)
sinking type 6 DC (15-18 cm/s)

RIO Outbound Shooting Head	Head Weight	Full Length

ST8	315 gr (20.4 g)	9.1 m
ST9	375 gr (24.3 g)	9.1 m
ST10	425 gr (27.5 g)	9.1 m

RIO-Technologies

RIO XS (Extreme Slickness) Technology
XS (Extreme Slickness)
The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a generation of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance.

RIO Density Compensated Technology
Density Compensated (nur "S6")
RIO’s Density Compensation adds a more dense material to the thin tip, which ensures the line sinks straight.

RIO Welded Loops Technology
Welded Loops
RIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
