Overview

RIO's Elite GameChanger Body is the perfect delivery system for long tapered sink tips, getting flies down in the water column, and lines below variable surface currents. The spey body features RIO's Multi Density Control - a seamless blend of three different densities that ensures the smoothest transition of energy when casting, and the very best depth control when fishing. Say goodbye to hinging, weak casts and poor turnover with these sinking spey bodies. Each built with SlickCast Technology and ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Plus for the maximum in sensitivity and performance.With the GameChanger Body, the wide variety of density options give anglers total control over the depth of fishing, ensuring a straighter line down to the fly, reducing sag typical in single-density lines. The F/H/I option is great with an intermediate, type 3 tip, and swings beautifully between 2ft-4ft. The F/I/S3 is ideal for adding type 3 and type 6 tips, and good for swinging between 4ft and 8ft down along with a F/S3/S5 for swinging 8ft to 12ft down. Full sinking options are also available with an intermediate I/S2/S3 and fastest sinking, bottom-dredging S3/S5/S7 as the best choice for getting the slowest, deepest swing.

Ideal body for the giant Chinook of Southern Patagonia, Argentina.

"The Gamechanger body is well balanced, easy casting and extremely useful when you want to go deep, preventing the "hinge" effect there is when fishing floating skagit bodies with heavy tips such as T14 or T17. It works very effectively on the giant chinook salmon of the Guanaco and Caterina Rivers of Southern Patagonia, Argentina."

Catching Chrome in Autumn

"Lovely. Helps slow down the swing in these cold conditions, but it does not bury the fly in low water flows. Perfect shooting head in the cold, low flow fall weather"
