Rio Premier Coastal Seatrout V2.0 SHD Float

RIO Premier Coastal Seatrout Shooting Head V2 is developed specifically for coastal saltwater fly fishing in the cooler conditions typical of Scandinavian and Northern European shores. The compact, weight-forward head profile makes it very easy to load the fly rod quickly, helping you achieve distance with minimal false casts while still turning over your leader smoothly for subtle, controlled presentations to wary seatrout and similar coastal species. The taper is designed to cope with wind, longer leaders and larger coastal flies, making it a versatile shooting head for everything from shallow bays to open, windswept coastlines.

Built with RIO’s SlickCast technology, the running surface and coating offer exceptionally low friction through the guides, which translates to longer, more efficient casting and excellent shootability even with cold, damp hands. SlickCast also ensures high abrasion resistance and long-lasting performance in saltwater, giving you a durable shooting head that keeps its handling and casting characteristics session after session. The line works equally well with both mono shooting lines and coated shooting lines, so you can adapt your setup to your preferred coastal style and conditions.

Practical details such as Dual Tone colour separation and Easy ID print on the line make it simple to see and feel the correct head length outside the rod tip, which is important when you want to shoot line at exactly the right moment. Front and back welded loops make it quick and secure to attach shooting line and leader, allowing fast changes on the shore when light, wind or fishing depth change. Overall, RIO Premier Coastal Seatrout Shooting Head V2 is a modern, efficient shooting head for the dedicated coastal fly angler who values reliable performance, distance and clean presentations in cold saltwater environments.
