RIO Elite Scandi Launch Kit

RIO Elite Scandi Launch Kit

The RIO Elite Scandi Launch Kit is a complete, ready-to-fish solution for anglers looking for easy rod loading, efficient turnover, and maximum adaptability on the river. This complete, ready to fish system combines RIO’s best-selling Scandi tapers with cutting-edge technology, making it an ideal choice for effortless casting and precise presentation with modern double-handed setups.

At the heart of the kit is the Elite Scandi Launch head, designed with a rear-loaded taper that concentrates weight in the D-loop. This creates smooth, powerful loading and a clean, controlled turnover, even in tight casting situations. The head is paired with an appropriately sized RIO Elite Metered Shooting Line, which provides excellent distance management and tracking thanks to its clearly marked sections. The low-stretch ConnectCore Plus enhances take detection and hook setting, adding confidence to every cast.

To complete the system, the kit includes three RIO VersiLeaders in intermediate, Sink 4 and Sink 6 sink rates, allowing anglers to adjust depth quickly and effectively. Whether fishing deeper in the water column or needing to slow the swing in heavier flows, the kit adapts easily to the changing demands of the river.

Finished with RIO’s ultra-slick SlickCast coating for long-lasting durability and high-performance handling, the Elite Scandi Launch Kit brings together modern design and proven tapers in a package that’s ready to fish straight out of the box.
