RIO Skagit IMOW Sink Tips
RIO Skagit IMOW Sink Tips
Powerful, sink tips designed for big flies with an intermediate rear section.
RIO’s InTouch iMOW tips are designed to cast the biggest of flies with exceptional ease, and have an intermediate rear section which creates a smooth depth transition between a floating body and fast sinking tip, and perfect contact between the angler and the fly. They are also the ideal tip for intermediate based Skagit heads, like RIO’s iFlight. All InTouch iMOW tips are built on RIO’s ConnectCore for ultra-low stretch performance.
"Light" InTouch iMOW tips feature T8 for the fast sinking section (which sinks at 7" per second) and are ideal for Skagit heads up to 475 grains. The intermediate section is a translucent white.
"Medium" InTouch iMOW tips feature T11 for the fast sinking section (which sinks at 8" per second) and are ideal for Skagit heads between 475 and 575 grains. The intermediate section is a translucent green.
"Heavy" InTouch iMOW tips feature T14 for the fast sinking section (which sinks at 9" per second) and are ideal for Skagit heads between 575 and 675 grains. The intermediate section is a translucent blue.
We here at Rogue Valley Anglers always use the IMOW tips over the MOW tips when not using straight T-8, T-11, T-14 etc. The intermediate part sinking just below the surface helps slow the swing down compared to the floating section on the regular MOW tips, and a slower swing basically always catches more steelhead.
