FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the hover running line?

The hover running line sits just below the surface, minimizing disturbance on calm water and providing a stealthier presentation while maintaining consistent casting.

What types of MDC tips are required?

You need RIO's 12ft dual-density MDC Tips for rods under 13ft, and RIO's 18ft triple-density MDC tips for rods 13ft or longer.

Can I use this line with any sinking tips?

No, this line is specifically designed for compatibility with RIO's MDC floating and sinking tips.

Is this line suitable for beginners?

While designed for ease of casting, anglers new to spey casting might benefit from instruction to maximize its performance potential.

How does the tapered design benefit my cast?

The taper is engineered to create tight loops, which allows for more efficient energy transfer, leading to longer and more accurate casts, especially in windy conditions.

What is the purpose of the integrated shooting head?

The integrated Scandi-style shooting head is designed to efficiently load spey rods and provide a versatile platform for various fishing conditions.

Troubleshooting

Line tangles easily

Ensure you are using the correct RIO MDC tips for your rod length and that the line is properly connected to the shooting line. Check for any knots or kinks in the running line.

Casting distance is reduced

Verify that the MDC tip is compatible with your rod length and that the entire setup (shooting line, head, and tip) is clean and treated with a line dressing. Ensure the rod is being loaded efficiently.

Line feels sticky or stiff

Clean the line thoroughly with a recommended line cleaner and apply a line dressing. Store the line properly to prevent stiffness.
