Rio Elite MDC SH Versitip WF

RIO Elite MDC SH VersiTip is a highly versatile single-hand interchangeable sink tip system, designed for trout, salmon and sea trout anglers who want precise depth control and effortless presentation. With 12 ft Multi Density Control (MDC) tips, a compact head and premium coatings, it offers ultra-smooth turnover, efficient mending and reliable roll-casting whether you fish rivers, lakes or the coast.

The system is built around a 30 ft rear-loaded head that makes it easy to lift from the water, reposition and mend, even with longer leaders and weighted flies. Across all line sizes the total head length is 35 ft, giving a consistent casting feel when you change tips. This makes it ideal for anglers who switch between different water types and depths during the same session without changing the whole fly line.

Supplied with four MDC tips – Floating (F), Hover/Intermediate (H/I), Intermediate/Sink 3 (I/S3) and Sink 3/Sink 5 (S3/S5) – you can fine-tune your fishing depth with smooth transition between densities. This reduces hinge points, keeps the fly tracking straight and helps maintain excellent contact for better bite detection and hook-ups.

The line features RIO’s ConnectCore Plus low-stretch core for sharp hook sets and improved sensitivity at range. The SlickCast coating reduces friction in the guides, increases casting distance and improves durability for long-term performance. DualTone colour marking and EasyID printing on the line make it quick to identify the head and weight, while front and back welded loops allow fast, secure loop-to-loop connections to backing, running line and tips.

Whether you are roll-casting from tight banks, swinging flies through heavy current or stripping streamers in stillwater, RIO Elite MDC SH VersiTip delivers a modern, technical shooting head system in a user-friendly format that suits a wide range of European fly fishing situations.
