XS Technology; Front-End Welded Loop

Skagit casting requires a line with a very short, 25-27 ft (7.6-8.3 m), heavy head that will propel heavy sink tips and big flies great distances with a very short casting stroke. Skagit casting is easy for novice or experienced casters to learn and exceptionally useful in situations with tight, restricted back casting space.

Skagit lines have a revolutionary design that is perfect for casting the very largest of flies and the heaviest of sink tips with the utmost of ease. A thick, heavy front end has immense lifting power that will lift out any tip or fly and throw it effortlessly. The line has s 27ft head that ends with a neat, bullet proof welded loop, to which a front tip (floating of sinking) must be attached.

Available either as a body only (Listed here - has running line/belly together), to which you attach one of RIO’s 15 ft tips, T-8, T-11, T-14, or T17; or as a VersiTip model (see Skagit VersiTip listing) that comes packaged with a shooting head wallet, a 5 ft cheater and a 15 ft DC Type 6 (6 ips, 15 cm/s) and a DC Type 8 (8 ips, 20 cm/s) sinking tip.
