RIO MDC Tip 12ft
MDC Sink Tips feature a progressive density design that makes the line sink faster where it counts (closer to the fly), while providing the smoothest possible turnover in a sink tip.
Available in 12ft and 18ft lengths to match a wider range of rods.
Three sizes with color-coded rear loops cover RIO’s entire range of Scandi Bodies:
#5/6 (white), #7/8 (blue), and #9+ (gray).
Clear intermediate available in the H/I and F/H/I tips.
| Length | Size | Color Code |
|---|---|---|
| 12ft | #5/6, #7/8, #9+ | White, Blue, Gray |

The 12ft MDC tip performs well with my Scandi Body #7/8. It sinks quickly and the line turns over smoothly without tangles. Great for casting in open water.

I used the white #5/6 size with my rod and noticed better sink rate than previous tips. The color coding helps me match the right size quickly.

The clear intermediate section works well in the H/I tip. It improves line control during casting and feels more responsive.
