A complete short-head Scandi system that swings every depth from a single kit - built for shorter two-handers, switch rods, and tighter water.
The RIO Elite Scandi MDC Kit Short packs everything into one box: a floating Elite Scandi body, a wallet of four 12 ft Multi Density Control tips, and a spool of SlickShooter shooting line matched to the head weight. MDC tips are densest at the fly end, so they cut down through the column tip-first and keep you in straight-line contact through the swing.
The tip set runs from full floating to fast sinking - F, H/I, I/S3, and S3/S5 - with color-coded welded loops for quick changes on the bank. The compact 12 ft tips keep the total system short enough to cast in confined quarters and load shorter rods with ease. Fishing longer rods on bigger water? Have a look at the RIO Elite Scandi MDC Kit Long with its 18 ft tips.
