Rio Elite Scandi Launch Kit

The RIO Elite Scandi Launch Kit is a complete, ready-to-fish system for modern double-handed rods, combining effortless Spey casting with precise presentation and excellent depth control. Built around the Elite Scandi Launch shooting head with a rear-loaded taper, it loads the rod quickly and smoothly, creating a compact D-loop and graceful turnover even when backspace is limited on tight European rivers. The kit includes an appropriately matched RIO Elite Metered Shooting Line, making it easy to judge and repeat casting distance thanks to clearly marked sections. The low-stretch ConnectCore Plus throughout the system improves bite detection, keeps you in direct contact with the fly, and helps drive the hook home when a salmon or sea trout takes on a long swing. RIO’s ultra-slick SlickCast coating reduces friction in the guides, adding distance, improving line management and increasing durability for hard, season-long fishing. For fast, on-the-water adjustment of fishing depth and swing speed, the kit comes with three 10 ft RIO VersiLeaders: intermediate (1.5 ips), Medium Sink (4 ips) and Fast Sink (6 ips). This allows you to cover different pools and flow conditions by simply changing leader rather than swapping the entire shooting head. From slowing the swing in heavy water to keeping a fly just under the surface in softer glides, the Elite Scandi Launch Kit gives you a highly adaptable setup straight out of the box. Supplied with a handy leader wallet to keep the VersiLeaders organised, this is a smart choice for anyone wanting a clean, efficient Scandi setup with minimal fuss and maximum fishability.
