The ultimate shooting head case with tough 6mm storage bags arranged to allow easy viewing and flipping of heads, as well as mesh pockets for storing leaders and tippet spools. The bags are large enough to hold regular shooting heads, Skagit shooting heads and long Scandinavian shooting heads and 10 bags per case leaving plenty of room for a varied selection of RIO heads.
Additional storage bags can be purchased in sets of 5.

Beware, a bit of a CON!! Advertised as a wallet? But sorry no wallet! It's just very basic plastic sleeves that would fit in a Rio wallet, but no wallet itself. A Con .... just look at the photo?!!!
Original order still out there in the mysterious vacuum that is Royal Mail. However, a phone call to gamefish was met with great politeness and I received my wallet the following day, express delivery. So thank you very much gamefish Edinburgh. It’s such a shame that companies have to take the brunt of customer complaints because of the shortcomings of a third party, in this case Royal Mail.
The wallet is a well thought out piece of kit, takes another insert so holding at least 10 heads plus numerous poly leaders in the pockets. Obviously too bulky to carry around while fishing but a good base storage. For me, one improvement would be to keep the individual head wallets separate rather than in bunches of 5 enabling more flexibility . However, it’s easy enough to remove 5 and stuff them in a pocket particularly if you want a set of say 3D heads of different sink rates. Yet to be tried in situ but I’m confident it will prove a good buy, if not a little pricey!
I have not received this item so can’t possibly review it!
Very clever piece of kit. Now that I can store my shooting heads in convenient plastic storage bags, of the type used by Rio nowadays instead of cardboard boxes, I'll probably be more inclined to change heads more often. Win win! The wallet is well made and allows me to keep all my shooting heads together in a convenient way. Previously I kept them on the spools in the cardboard boxes they came in. These, particularly those most frequently used, were in various stages of disintigration; a more durable solution was required. The RIO HEADCASE SHOOTING HEAD WALLET meets all my requirements 100%.
