RIO Elite Scandi Outbound Spey Hover Fly Line - Orange

The 'hover' designation means the line floats just below the surface. This reduces surface disturbance, allows for easier mending in current, and provides a stable platform for presentations without the line fully submerging.

Connect Core is RIO's proprietary low-stretch core technology. It provides enhanced line control, greater casting power transfer, and improved feel during the cast and when fighting fish.

While the line is compatible with most leaders, it is specifically designed to perform best when paired with RIO's 10ft Versi Leaders. Using leaders with an appropriate taper and weight will optimize casting performance.

Slick Cast is an advanced coating that makes the line incredibly slick and durable. This reduces friction as the line passes through guides, enabling longer casts and easier line management.

While its specialized taper aids in casting, beginners might find it easier to learn with a more general-purpose line. However, its ease of casting can still be beneficial for those developing their Spey casting technique.

This line is ideal for Spey casting in rivers where longer casts are required, such as for salmon, steelhead, or large trout. Its hover density is beneficial in currents and when a subtle presentation is needed.

Rinse the line with fresh water after use and periodically clean it with a mild soap solution. Ensure it is dry before storing. Specific line cleaners can also be used for optimal performance.

Ensure the line is properly loaded onto the reel and that leader and fly connections are smooth. Check for any nicks or damage on the line that could cause friction. Loosen your casting stroke slightly if it's too aggressive.

Clean the line with a specialized line cleaner to restore its slickness. Ensure your leader is compatible and not causing excessive drag. Check for damage to the line's coating.

As a hover line, it is designed to float just under the surface. If it is sinking rapidly, check for any damage or contamination that might be affecting its buoyancy. Ensure it's clean and dry.

The hover density provides a stable platform. Ensure you are using the correct mending techniques for a line that is just subsurface. Adjust your leader length if needed.
