RIO Scandi MDC 18ft Triple Density Tips

Triple density refers to the construction of the tip, which incorporates three different material densities along its length. This tapering helps create a smoother transition for better presentation and fly turnover.

These 18ft tips are specifically designed for longer fly rods, typically 13ft and above, and RIO Versi Tip lines. They may be too long and heavy for shorter or lighter rods.

The choice depends on the fly you are using and the water conditions. Denser tips sink faster and are suitable for deeper water or faster currents, while less dense tips are better for shallower water or a gentler presentation.

Each tip has color-coded sleeves and printed sizes for easy identification of their density and sink rate.

These tips are optimized for RIO Versi Tip lines and heads. While they may physically connect to other lines, performance might be compromised due to differences in tapers and densities.

Rinse with fresh water after use and store loosely coiled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid kinking.

Ensure you are using the correct loop-to-loop connection. Check for any debris in the loops that might be preventing a clean connection. Consult your RIO Versi Tip system manual for specific instructions.

Verify that you are using the correct density tip for the fishing conditions and fly size. Ensure your casting technique is suited to the longer rod and tip combination. Check that the tip is securely attached.

Rinse the tip thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry away from heat. Store the tip loosely coiled and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or sunlight.
