Love the lines on my new rod
"Put this line on a 13’ 7/8wt Spey rod I just finished building. Both Skagit and Scandi lines are performing great me not so much as a new Spey caster"
Smooth casting Skagit heads, perfectly balanced for the appropriate sink tips
RIO Skagit Max Launch heads deliver the power needed to cast large flies and sinking tips more elegantly than ever before. The unique weight distribution deeply loads rods for long, powerful casts, while the refined taper design generates incredibly smooth loops which transition seamlessly from head to tip to fly. The low stretch core gives incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and provides enhanced detection of takes, more positive hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 34 reviews.
