There are a lot of reasons that people use to explain why they don’t catch fish. Limited back cast room, long heavy sink tips, flies made from half a rabbit, all reasons why fish are tough to catch. Having a Skagit line that is shorter is the answer to many people’s dream. The combination of line length, taper, and the latest loop technology make the new Skagit Compact heads the S#!@. The new shorter design makes anchoring and casting easier. Perhaps the biggest revolution made by the Skagit compact is the elimination of cutting and splicing lines need to custom match the head to your rod and casting style. Skagit compact heads come in 360 to 720 grains. Without a doubt there is a Skagit compact head that you will like. The heads are bright green to help you see you line on the dark days and the heads do not come with a tip. There were a growing number of people who already have a pile of sink tips so we offer the heads w/o tips.
