FAQs
What type of fishing is this line best suited for?
This line is specifically designed for spey casting, making it ideal for salmon, steelhead, and large trout fishing in rivers.
What are the benefits of the Connect Core and Slick Cast coating?
The Connect Core provides a low-stretch connection for better casting control and sensitivity, while the Slick Cast coating ensures a durable, slippery surface for longer casts and easier line management.
Do I need a special leader for this line?
While any leader can be attached, the line performs best when paired with RIO's 10ft Versi Leaders or similar spey leaders for optimal balance and turnover.
Is this line suitable for single-hand casting?
No, this line is optimized for two-handed spey or switch casting. While it might technically attach to a single-hand rod, its taper and weight distribution are not designed for that style of casting.
How do I clean and care for the line?
Rinse with fresh water after use, wipe with a damp cloth, and store loosely on the reel in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
What does 'Elite Metered Shooting Line' mean?
This refers to the running line portion of the fly line, which has markings at measured intervals, allowing you to gauge casting distance accurately.
What are the different color options available?
This specific product is the Green variant, which features Green/Orange/Grey on the line. Other color variants are available.
Troubleshooting
Line tangles frequently
Ensure the line is not twisted; un-twist by making a few long, loose casts. Check that leader and fly connections are streamlined. Ensure proper line management on the reel.
Casting distance is shorter than expected
Verify the line is properly paired with an appropriate rod weight and taper. Ensure the leader connection is smooth. Check for any debris or damage on the line coating.
Line sinks or has poor flotation
Clean the line thoroughly with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure no contaminants are present on the line surface. If damage is evident, the line may need replacement.
Difficulty mending the line on the water
Ensure you are using the correct casting techniques for spey lines. The Slick Cast coating should help with line control; clean the line if it feels sticky.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Attach the RIO Elite Scandi Outbound Spey Floating Fly Line to your fly reel according to standard fly line installation procedures. Ensure a secure connection to your backing. Recommended leader connection: Use RIO's 10ft Versi Leaders or similar, connecting with a suitable knot like a nail knot or a loop-to-loop connection. Ensure the leader is properly integrated with the front taper for optimal casting performance.
Compatibility: This line is designed for spey or switch rods, typically in weights suitable for salmon, steelhead, or large trout. It is most effective when used with fly rods designed for two-handed casting. The line's taper and weight are balanced to work with standard Spey rod actions. It is also compatible with RIO's range of Versi Leaders for customized presentations.
Care: To maintain performance, rinse the line with fresh water after each use, especially after fishing in saltwater or dirty conditions. Gently wipe the line with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can degrade the coating. Store the line loosely on the reel in a cool, dry place. Periodically inspect the line for any nicks or abrasions.
