FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Elite Scandi Outbound Spey Floating Fly Line?

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.

What type of fishing is this line best suited for?

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.

Do I need to use a specific leader with this line?

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

How do I clean and maintain the line?

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.

What does 'low-stretch ConnectCore' mean for my casting?

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.

What is SlickCast coating?

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.

Is this line suitable for beginners?

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.

Troubleshooting

Line tangles frequently

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.

Casts are not achieving desired distance

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.

Line feels sticky or sluggish

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.

Difficulty with mending or line control on the water

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

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the RIO Elite Scandi Outbound Spey Floating Fly Line, connect your reel and backing as usual. Attach the fly line to your backing. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use RIO's 10ft VersiLeaders, which can be connected to the front of the fly line using a loop-to-loop connection or a preferred knot. Ensure the leader is securely attached before casting.

Compatibility: This fly line is designed to be compatible with most spey fly rods and reels. It is specifically recommended for use with RIO's 10ft VersiLeaders. The line is a floating version, suitable for a variety of fishing conditions.

Care: To maintain the performance of your RIO Elite Scandi Outbound Spey Floating Fly Line, it is important to keep it clean. After each use, rinse the line with fresh water to remove any dirt or debris. Periodically, use a line cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently wipe down the line. This will help preserve the SlickCast coating and ensure smooth casting. Store the line loosely wound on your reel or on a line tray, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
