Description:
RIO ELITE SCANDI OUTBOUND - AN EASY CASTING INTEGRATED SCANDI SHOOTING HEAD DESIGNED FOR DISTANCE AND PRESENTATION.
The RIO Elite Scandi OutBound is a series of integrated Scandi style shooting heads, with the shooting head seamlessly attached to the appropriately sized shooting line negating the frustration of loop-to-loop joins running through the rod rings, as with usual shooting head systems.
The Scandi head design is incredibly easy to cast and built to load a Spey rod quickly and efficiently, tapered to deliver tight loops that unroll effortlessly, and with a weight distribution that will turn over flies with precision and ease.
Available in two densities, Floating and Hover, the integrated RIO Elite Scandi OutBound covers the needs of most salmon and sea trout anglers. The floating line excels in summer conditions and lower water and provides perfect presentation of small to medium flies. The hover version sinks very slowly and comes into its own on windy days, in cooler temperatures, and when fishing in higher or heavier flows. It offers added control without sacrificing castability when just a tiny bit more depth is needed.
This series is available with two different head length options. In addition to the standard Elite Integrated Scandi Outbound, there is the Elite Integrated Scandi Outbound Short. These lines have a shorter head length, making them a perfect match for anglers using switch rods or double-handed rods under 13 feet in length. The line features a refined taper that makes it easy to handle in tight spaces while still delivering the same smooth load and tight-loop control needed to fish effectively on smaller rivers and when close to obstructions behind.
For 2026, the UKs best-selling Salmon line has been upgraded with two new features. The first is that the shooting line is now RIOs acclaimed Elite Metered Shooting Line, a shooting line that changes colour every 10 feet to improve distance control and judgement, and maintain consistent casting performance across sessions. In addition, we have bought out an alternative high-viz yellow version of the head for anglers who like to see their loops flying across the river and for instructors and photographers.
These lines are not designed to have sink tips added to, but work exceptionally well with floating, intermediate, and sinking VersiLeaders on the front end - when extra depth is required.
All models in the Elite Integrated Scandi OutBound range are built with SlickCast, the slickest and most durable coating ever measured on a fly line, and ConnectCore Plus, RIOs low-stretch core that offers exceptional sensitivity, improved hook setting, and enhanced line control. Together, they give these lines the edge in both feel and durability, making them a highly reliable choice across a wide range of conditions.
