New for 2010 The new Skagit Flight Shooting Head
is the very ultimate design in Skagit lines for maximum flight time, effortless
casting strokes and the tightest and sweetest of loops. Based on the
extraordinarily successful AFS head, the line features a back end that loads
rods deeply and easily and a long, subtle front taper that ensures the energy
flows smoothly to the tip, generating gorgeous loops and long, long flight times
and distance. The front end has a thick tip that packs a big punch and easily
lifts out heavy tips and large flies with supreme ease.
The heads vary in length between 24 ft and 31 ft, depending on the size, and
the range of weights ensures that even the most fastidious of casters will be
able to tune their rod to perfection.
Attach a shooting line to the ultra strong welded loop at the back end and
one of RIO's 15 ft tips or a piece of T-11, T-14 or T-17 (sold separately) to
the exceptionally neat, bullet proof front loop.
