RIO Scandi Short Shooting Head
THE RIO SCANDI head is a very easy casting Scandi style shooting head, built on RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the utmost in casting control and sensitivity. It is available in a multitude of lengths and weights to cover all rod and angling situations.
For tight casting spots and the utmost in ease of casting, use a head length between 2.5 and 3 times the length of the rod. A 12 ft rod would work best with a head between 30 and 36 ft in length. The shorter the head length, the tighter the back casting space an angler can fish in. A longer head provides less line to strip between casts and more fishing time.

The Scandi head makes casting much easier, especially in narrow spots. I paired it with my 12 ft rod and found the 33 ft length to be perfect. The line control is excellent and I can cast with confidence even in tight areas.

I’ve used this head for several weeks now and it’s noticeably improved my casting accuracy. The low stretch core feels responsive and the head stays stable during use.

Great for tight fishing spots. The 30 ft head works well with my 10 ft rod. It’s easy to handle and gives me more control than previous heads I’ve used.
