Rio on Rio Max Shooting Heads
With the RIO 30 Ft Shooting Heads,
you can cast long distances with ease. Shooting head taper designs have
not changed in many years, and compared to traditional shooting heads,
these heads have a longer flight time, which translates into more
distance. The RIOMax Shooting Heads weight and unique taper design
properly load the rod for optimum performance. The unique front loaded
taper design stabilizes the head in the air and prevents the
characteristic "dumping" at the end of the cast (typical of traditional
shooting heads). The weight of the heads is slightly more than two line
weights heavier than the AFTMA standard weight so there is no need to
upsize the heads to properly load fast action rods.
Labeled
in grain weight, as well as recommended rod rating. Whether for
saltwater, anadromous species or trout, the RIOMax shooting heads will
improve your distance casting.
