RIO Elite Scandi Outbound Spey Floating Fly Line - Multicolor

The main advantage is its integrated, all-in-one design that mimics the taper of RIO's award-winning scandi shooting heads, offering effortless long-distance spey casts without the need for separate shooting head and running line joins.

This line is ideal for spey casting techniques, targeting species like salmon, steelhead, and large trout in rivers where long-range casting and line control are important.

While you can use various leaders, RIO specifically recommends pairing this line with their 10ft VersiLeaders for optimal performance and casting efficiency.

Rinse the line with fresh water after use. Periodically, clean it with a line cleaner or mild soap and a soft cloth to preserve the SlickCast coating and ensure a slick surface.

The low-stretch ConnectCore provides enhanced line stability, allowing for more direct power transfer during your cast, leading to increased accuracy and distance. It also helps in detecting subtle takes.

SlickCast is RIO's proprietary coating technology that provides an ultra-slick and durable line surface, reducing friction through the guides and increasing the line's lifespan.

While the line is designed for ease of use in spey casting, anglers new to spey casting may benefit from learning the fundamental techniques first. The line itself simplifies casting once basic mechanics are understood.

Ensure the line is properly stored and not over-wound. Check for any nicks or damage on the line that might cause friction. Use a line cleaner to maintain its slickness. Verify your casting technique is smooth and controlled.

Confirm the line is properly matched to your rod's weight and action. Ensure you are using the recommended RIO's 10ft VersiLeader. Practice a smooth casting stroke, allowing the line to load the rod effectively.

The SlickCast coating may need to be refreshed. Clean the line thoroughly with a line cleaner or mild soap and water, then rinse and dry. This will restore its slickness.

Ensure the line is floating well. Clean the line to maximize its buoyancy. Practice different mending techniques suitable for spey lines.
