Overview

RIO's Elite Skagit Pickpocket heads are the perfect delivery system for casting heavy sink tips and efficiently getting down in the water column when fishing the bottom is of utmost importance. The heads feature RIO's Multi Density Control - a seamless blend of three different densities that removes the hinge point from head to sink tip, ensures the smoothest transition of energy when casting, and provides the very best depth control when fishing variable currents of pools, runs, and pocket water. With the ability to swing under conflicting surface currents and slow your fly down in colder water conditions, maximum control is best achieved with these sinking heads vs a floating head configuration. In addition, mending control is heightened when using sinking heads, as you can adjust the rear floating section without moving the sinking portions of the line closer to the fly.

Now featuring a S3/S5/S7 β€œDredger” configuration in the most popular winter fishing grain weights of 525gr and 600gr, for the ultimate performance in getting the fly to the bottom quickly and keeping it there throughout the entire swing.

"Best line I’ve ever used for swinging big flies. It really does get it down quick and keeps it at the bottom."

"The pick pocket 600 grain on my 14’ 9 wt is totally awesome - my estimation is that i am casting 15 - 20% further than with a std. Gamechanger S3 head - using 10 3D Mows or 15 ft replacement tips in 9 or 10 wt - i use a variety of 12 or 12.5 ft tips which work very well as well - good job RIO Fishing Great Lake Tribs - Canadian side"
