RIO Elite Scandi Outbound Spey Hover Fly Line - Orange

The hover technology allows the line to float with a very low profile, just on or slightly above the water's surface. This minimizes disturbance, making it ideal for stealthy presentations in clear water or when fish are easily spooked.

Connect Core is RIO's proprietary low-stretch core technology. It provides enhanced sensitivity, direct feedback from the fly, and a more solid connection for effective hook sets.

This is an integrated shooting head system. You will use a loop-to-loop connection to attach it to your running line and to your leader. This eliminates the need for complex knots at the line head itself.

This line is designed for Spey and Switch rods, typically in two-handed or longer single-handed configurations, intended for casting techniques like the Spey cast.

Slick Cast is a highly durable and slick coating that reduces friction as the line moves through your rod guides. This results in longer, smoother casts and makes it easier to mend the line and retrieve it.

While the line is versatile, RIO recommends pairing it with their 10ft Versi Leaders for optimal performance. Using leaders of the incorrect length or weight can affect casting dynamics.

Rinse the line with fresh water after each use to remove dirt and salt. Store it loosely coiled in a cool, dry place, and occasionally apply a line dressing to keep the Slick Cast coating performing at its best.

Ensure the line is clean and free of debris. Apply a quality line dressing to restore slickness and buoyancy. Check that the 'hover' designation is correct for this specific model.

Verify that the leader is the recommended length and type (e.g., RIO 10ft Versi Leader). Ensure your running line is not too heavy or tangled. Check for any friction points in your rod guides.

Practice casting with smooth acceleration and a clean follow-through. Ensure the line is not twisted. A proper rod-to-line weight match is crucial for efficient loop formation.

Coil the line loosely when not in use and store it properly. Ensure smooth line management during the cast and retrieve. Check your running line for any knots or imperfections.
