Overview

RIO's shooting heads are based on the popular OutBound Short lines, and are designed to cast very long distances. The front loaded weight distribution quickly loads a rod, while the unique step down taper at the back allows for very long flight times and easy distance. The heads are built two sizes above the AFTM standard to correctly load modern rods - anglers do not need to step up a line size when choosing a line for their rod, as this is done in the design. Each head has an EasyID loop at the back end for quick recognition. RIO recommends attaching the following head sizes to these shooting lines sizes:

ST7 to ST8 — 0.024"/0.026" shooting line, or 25lb SlickShooter/GripShooter

ST8 to ST10 — 0.030"/0.032" shooting line or 35lb SlickShooter/GripShooter

Powerful, easy casting shooting heads that make long distance casts simple.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 15 reviews.

Capt B. (5/5)

Great product

"I've been using a 7wt outbound short floating and 8wt fs outbound short shooting head w/ elite shooting line at Pyramid lake. Both setups are very castable and like new after 18mo."

Great service great line

"Great service great line"

Jamie M. (5/5)

Great but heavy

"The 8 wt Outbounds got lightened from 330 to 315 grains, which is great. Now lighten the 9 wt from 375 to 350-360 to match most rods. The 10 wts are still good at 425 because most rod companies jump power a lot from 9 to 10 wt rods."
