Rio Classic Sink Tip 10ft

RIO Classic 10ft Sink Tips are the go‑to choice for fly anglers who fish VersiTip style shooting heads and want reliable, controlled depth presentation. Designed for Switch rods and double handed rods up to about 12' 6", these 10ft tips feature a gentle front taper that turns over typical salmon and sea trout flies smoothly, even in tricky wind or current. The range covers floating, intermediate, Sink 3, Sink 5 and Sink 7 (not in size 5/6), allowing you to fine-tune how deep your fly swings through the pool. For 2026, the intermediate versions are now completely clear, giving a more discreet presentation in pressured or clear water. Each tip is built on RIO’s SlickCast coating for minimal friction and longer casting, and comes with welded loops front and back for quick, clean loop-to-loop changes on the riverbank. Clear printed Easy ID and colour‑coded rear sleeves (white for #5/6, blue for #7/8 and grey for #9+) make it simple to grab the right tip from your wallet, so you spend more time fishing and less time guessing which tip is which.
