Mucho Hucho Super Sinker SH
After a long test phase and trying several prototypes, I was finally satisfied. This super sinker huchen shooting head -RIO internally called "Mucho Hucho"- has it all. It has been available from Rudi Heger since the last Huchen season. It is the ideal choice for huchen fishing in faster and deeper stretches of water! The shooting head has a length of 5.70 m and a weight of 49.5 g. The T-23 material quickly brings your streamer to depth. The decisive factor is 5.50 m (SH length), 20 cm are intended as an overhang. If you use the overhang too, this makes an additional weight of approx. 1 g. The shooting head, therefore, fits perfectly for double hand rods between 11-12.5 feet in length, which are typical for huchen fishing. The tapered SH allows the fly to be rolled (in fact you use an extended stroke > roll shooting) to a suitable distance even with a large streamer and thus to address a fish, even in places without backspace. The SH can be easily presented overhead at a great distance. Only a few meters of rear space are then required.
I am aware that not every fly fisherman has a rod that is capable of rolling a 750 gr shooting head together with a larger streamer or casting it overhead which adds even more weight. However, that is not a problem, because the Mucho Hucho SH is designed in such a way that it can be cut and adjusted in terms of weight or length (rod length or space). Please feel free to use my cutting table. I recommend cutting the Mucho Hucho SH from the rear end (towards the running line).
So the head rolls wonderfully and flies perfectly. Even shortened to 4 m plus 1 - 2 m mono leader, it can still be rolled perfectly to an attractive distance. This shot roll cast is a roll cast that allows you to shoot a few meters of running line (not to be confused with a switch cast) also works with large streamers weighing several grams. Switching is only possible with completely unweighted, synthetic streamers, but is generally rather uncommon when fishing for huchen for various reasons and is normally not possible with T-tips on Skagit lines combined with large huchen flies.

Unfortunately, RIO has decided to stop poducing private label lines in favour of their own line series. This is a pity as hucho fishing is a niche and producing 10000 lines and more for hucho fishing is an Illusion.
So Rudy Heger cannot Provider you with the perfect Mucho Hucho SH any more. We do not know if RIO will changed its policy again, but for the moment the Mucho Hucho SH is not available / out of stock. Sorry!
