RIO's smoothest casting and most comprehesive series of sink tips.
MDC Sink Tips feature a progressive density design that makes the line sink faster where it counts (closer to the fly), while providing the smoothest possible turnover in a sink tip.
Features:
- 12ft and 18ft lengths to match a wider range of rods
- Color-coded rear loops for quick size matching
- Three sizes with color-coded rear loops cover RIO’s entire range of Scandi Bodies >#5/6 (white), #7/8 (blue), and #9+ (gray)
- Clear intermediate available in the H/I and F/H/I tips
- Progressive density design for faster sink near the fly
- Smooth turnover for stable casting and clean energy transfer

Complete your System:
- Scandi body/head (matched system performance)
- Coated running line (best handling, fewer tangles)
- Tip wallet / leader wallet (organized depth changes)
- Leaders and tippet (standardize turnover and sink behavior)
Q: What does “MDC” do that a standard sink tip doesn’t?
A: The progressive density profile sinks fastest closest to the fly, helping you achieve depth and maintain smoother turnover.
Q: Should I choose 12' or 18'?
A: 12' is a versatile baseline for many setups. 18' is ideal when you want more sustained depth control and a longer tip profile for specific rods and swing characteristics.
