RIO Elite Scandi MDC Long Shooting Head Kit - Blue

The MDC system allows for precise control over fly depth by offering a selection of 18ft tips with different density profiles, enabling anglers to adapt to various water conditions and fishing strategies.

While the kit provides a complete system, mastering the nuances of multi-density tips and Spey casting may require some learning curve. It is well-suited for intermediate to advanced anglers, or motivated beginners willing to practice.

This kit is specifically designed for salmon fishing and is excellent for other large predatory fish that require Spey casting techniques.

The kit is available in sizes WF7 to WF10+. Consult the RIO product recommendations or match the line weight to your fly rod's stated rating for optimal performance.

While possible, it is recommended to use the provided RIO Elite Scandi MDC tips with the corresponding Scandi body for optimal balance and performance, as they are specifically designed to work together.

Standard Scandi lines typically have a single density or a simple graduated density. The MDC system offers more advanced control with distinct triple-density sections on each tip, combined with the power often associated with Skagit lines.

Ensure you are using a proper casting stroke and retrieving line smoothly. Store tips carefully in the wallet when not in use. Check for any nicks or damage on the line that might catch.

Verify that the connected tip is appropriate for your rod's weight and current conditions. Ensure the shooting line is not restricted by the reel or guides.

Use a strong, proven knot for connecting the tips (e.g., a perfection loop or an improved clinch knot). Inspect the connection point for wear.
