Rio Skagit
Skagit casting requires a line with a very short, 25-27 ft (7 to 8.3 m), heavy head that propels heavy sink tips and big flies great distances with a very short casting stroke. Ideal when the bank is really close and you can't get a 'D' loop or when the wind is coming hard at you and you are trying to cast a big tube. Slow the cast right down for best results.
This line can be used with really heavy tips for fishing in Alaska, Russia etc.
Skagit casting is easy for novice or experienced casters to learn. When casting Skagit lines the total head length should be matched to the rod; the total head length including the sink tip should be no more than 3 to 3.5 times the length of the rod with many anglers now preferring a setup just short of this. See entries below to order.
