RIO Elite Scandi Launch Shooting Head
The RIO Elite Scandi Launch combines a powerful weight-forward design with delicate presentation capabilities, perfect for swinging flies through Great Lakes steelhead runs. Its concentrated weight in the D-loop section loads Spey rods efficiently while the refined front taper ensures soft landings that won't spook wary fish in clear tributaries.
