RIO Elite Integrated GameChanger Body

RIO Elite Integrated GameChanger Body

The RIO Elite Integrated GameChanger Body is a series of integrated, easy casting, multi density bodies designed for the maximum in versatility and the ability to add balanced sinking tips to. It is the ultimate solution for anglers who need complete control over depth, swing, and presentation in two-handed setups.

Being integrated, the GameChanger Body seamlessly attaches to an appropriately sized shooting line – negating the frustration of loop-to-loop joins running through the rod rings, as with usual shooting head systems. An extended rear taper improves flight stability and smooths out the energy transfer, resulting in a cleaner, more efficient casting stroke with better control throughout.

At the centre of its performance is RIO’s Multi Density Control technology: a seamless blend of three different densities across the taper that creates the smoothest energy transfer during the cast and the most stable sink profile in the water. The result is a straighter, more direct connection to the fly with significantly less sag than traditional single-density designs when fishing, and an exceptionally smooth transfer of energy when casting, resulting in perfect loop shapes, effortless distance and excellent turnover and presentation of the fly.

The head is built of three different density sections, with a floating shooting line and back end, a hover middle section and an intermediate front end that altogether create an incredibly stable, shallow-angle presentation that gives anglers a direct connection to the fly throughout the cast and swing. It is an excellent choice of line in early and late season when the water is colder, and in higher water conditions when the angler needs to get the fly down to the fish quickly.

Built on ConnectCore Plus, the line offers ultra-low stretch performance for enhanced sensitivity, better strike detection, and solid hook-setting power. SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market—ensures superior shootability and long-lasting performance, even in demanding environments.

This line does require an intermediate or a sinking tip to be added to the front end to become fishable, and the revised taper design allows for a wide range of tips to be added. Anglers can confidently add RIO’s new MDC multi density tips, RIO’s Classic sink tips for smooth, light presentations, or a MOW or “T” tip when casting large, heavy flies or coping with wind.

Purpose-built for salmon, grilse, and sea trout, this integrated system gives anglers precise control over casting, turnover, and presentation across a wide range of water conditions.
