Rio MDC Tip 18'

RIO MDC 18ft Sink Tips

Triple-Density Control • Smooth Energy Transfer • Superior Presentation

Achieve unmatched depth control and casting performance with the RIO Multi Density Control (MDC) 18ft Sink Tips. Designed for anglers who require longer, more stable sink-tip setups, these individually packaged tips pair perfectly with a wide range of VersiTip-style fly lines and shooting heads.

With a refined front taper, the MDC 18ft tips deliver clean turnover and precise presentation, making them ideal for salmon and sea trout fishing in varied river conditions. The rear loop features a colour-coded sleeve, allowing for quick and accurate identification on the water.

Why MDC 18ft Tips Stand Out

The MDC 18ft series features a triple-density construction, with 6ft of each density section. This creates:

• Faster, controlled sink rates close to the fly

• Exceptionally smooth energy flow throughout the cast

• Effortless casting even with longer tips

• Improved depth tracking and presentation consistency

Density Options

Choose from five density combinations to perfectly match water height and speed:

• Floating (single density)

• Float / Hover / Intermediate – clear intermediate for stealth

• Hover / Intermediate / Sink 3

• Intermediate / Sink 3 / Sink 5

• Sink 3 / Sink 5 / Sink 7

Key Features

• SlickCast coating for ultra-low friction and long-lasting durability

• Multi Density Control for optimal sink-rate management

• Easy ID printing for instant recognition in your kit
