12/30/2023 0 Comments Rio in touch fly line review![]() In all fairness though this isn’t what that head was designed for (RIO tell us that on their site) and it is about then that I’ll usually swap to a Skagit but I like to see how far I can push these things. I notice that when I fish the Scandi Short it does struggle to turn over a 10ft sink tip and heavy fly that shows in the loop as the fly travels out. I was fishing a conehead tube fly that turned over really easily. The rod and line combo complimented each other, turned over really well and the loops were good and stable. I started single and circle spey casting pulling more line off of my reel to my usual fishing distance. I started with just some roll casts and could feel a slight difference in weight but not that it affected my casting in any way. The InTouch Scandi 3D I have is the 7/8 which comes in at 480Gr just a little lighter than my usual heads. It is a small river and these lines work perfectly for me. I usually fish this with RIO Scandi Short head in an 8wt (510 Gr) and a variety of tips and when I want to cast heavier flies I’ll use a 500Gr Skagit. It is perfect for the river I spend most f my time fishing. OK, it was straight out of the box but I felt it was worth mentioning.įor a lot of my fishing at home in Devon I use a Sage X 11ft 7wt Switch rod. The other thing I noticed was how super slick the line was. I suspect this took some time to get right but the job they have done is spot on. Running my fingers along the line and across the differing densities I immediately noticed how super smooth the joins between the sections were, infact there were no noticeable bumps or ridges at all. This gives the line 3 densities hence the name 3D. I tried the Floating/Hover/Intermediate line that has an intermediate tip of around 9ft or so and a hover section of a similar length followed by 15 ft of floating line. The InTouch Scandi 3D is a new line from RIO that features their low stretch ConnectCore and a 3 density head that allows you to swing your fly at a variety of depths.
