The RIO Elite Scandi OutBound is an integrated Scandi-style shooting head system, designed with the shooting head permanently fused to a perfectly matched running line. This seamless construction eliminates the irritation of loop-to-loop connections catching in the rod rings, a common issue with traditional shooting head set-ups.
Exceptionally easy to cast, the line is engineered to load a Spey rod rapidly and efficiently. Its carefully designed taper produces clean, tight loops that unroll smoothly, while the balanced weight distribution ensures precise, confident turnover of flies with minimal effort.
Why use the RIO Elite Scandi OutBound?
Integrated Scandi-style shooting head with matched running line
Seamless construction removes loop-to-loop joins through the rod rings
Loads Spey rods quickly for efficient, effortless casting
Designed to produce tight, controlled loops
Balanced weight distribution for accurate fly turnover
Ideal for anglers seeking distance, control and smooth performance
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 RIO Elite Integrated Scandi Outbound Short 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 UK’s best-selling Salmon line has been upgraded with two new features. The first is that the shooting line is now RIO’s 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, RIO’s 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.
