Rio Scandi Short VersiTip Fly Line
The Best All Around Fly Line for Switch Rods

The Rio Scandi Short Versitip is the best "all around" fly line for switch rods that we sell.  This line is perfect for the angler that is setting up a switch rod and wants to spey swing but might do some strike indicator fishing.  This line comes complete with everything you need to set up your switch rod.

Rio Scandi Short Versitip Kit Includes:
  • Scandi Short 23' Head
  • Comes with 4 different 10 ft long tips:
  • A floating tip, intermediate tip, type 3 and type 6 Density Compensated sinking tips
  • Wallet for storing sink tips
  • This is everything you need to put on your reel/switch rod

Fly Lines for Switch Rods

Anglers that plan to fish exclusively with strike indicators or strictly floating lines should get the Rio Switch fly line.  This line has a long belly and is capable of spey casting with a strike indicator setup and mends very well.  The Rio Scandi Short is great for anglers that want to throw both sink tips and floating lines.  The Rio Switch line will spey cast an indicator setup but does not cast and shoot sink tips effectively.  If you plan to fish almost exclusively big heavy weighted flies you can opt for a Skagit Short fly line, but that is the least popular line for switch rods.  Most anglers prefer the Rio Scandi Short Versitip.  The other line that we sell a lot of is the Royal Wulff Ambush Fly Line  this is a one piece line (no loop to loop where the running line and head meet).  It is a short head and quite similar to the Rio Scandi Short Versitip but does not come with any sink tips.  The Wulff Ambush Fly Line will indicator fish or swing sinking lines called Rio Power Versileaders.  All these lines are good choices, the most popular choice is the Rio Scandi Short Versitip,

    Im Impressed! 5 Stars January 7, 2012
    Reviewer: Shane from Selah, WA United States  
    If you have a switch rod you NEED to get this scandi short, it lines up perfectly with your swich rod making casting very easy (even if you are not the best at casting)

    Great for all around fishing January 7, 2012
    Reviewer: John from Kirkland, WA  
    I bought this line upon a recommendation from a friend.  It works great but the downside is that when I throw indicators they are tough to mend when they are way out there because the running line is thin.  The older guy at Red's told me this but I wasn't mentally prepared for it.  This line casts like a dream for spey with sink tips.  I think that I will buy another spool and line though because I want to strike indicator fish a lot too.
