We have a completely redesigned our Skagit head series for 2021. Leaving the traditional, level-belly Skagit tapers behind, our new lines are fully tapered from end to end. This provides the smoothest power delivery from the rod, through the line, to the tip, and ultimately to the fly. We have painstakingly optimized the tip diameter of these heads to cover a broad spectrum of sink tip lengths and weights. No matter what you attach to the end, this line will deliver it accurately with authority.
The floating head is available in a visible, but not obnoxious, sky blue color. The back of the head is identified with a black band that contrasts well with bright colored shooting lines.
Compact, powerful design with fully tapered belly for consistent turnover and accurate delivery
Designed to be used with sink tips for targeting steelhead and salmon
High contrast sighter at the rear of the head identifies the perfect overhang
Intermediate sink density swings flies deeper and slower than a floating head
Braided multifilament core for moderate and cold climates

The Skagit Short is designed to pair better with shorter Spey rods or when an angler needs to wade deep. This allows the angler to maintain a good D-loop even when the distance between the rod tip and water is shortened.

When you’re swinging a fly for salmon or steelhead using a two-handed rod, controlling the depth and speed of the fly is paramount. That’s why we created the Third Coast Textured Spey Tips. The TC Tip system is a revolutionary approach to Spey tips, as they’re the industry’s first truly tapered, fully textured, double-density sinking tips. Available in a multitude of densities to get the fly just where you need it.
The world’s first tapered, textured multi-density Spey tips
Shooting Texturing reduces friction, allowing for easier pick-ups of sinking tips
Tapered design aids in turning over flies at any distance
