The 7.6 meter Skagit head transports long polyleaders and aggressive T-tips with ease, so you can fully enjoy the benefits of an interchangeable tip system. With a selection of your favorite tips, you will be able to effectively fish different water conditions at any time - pool by pool. Thus, you get a very adaptable setup, which allows you a varied and above all effective fishing experience. Thanks to its compact design, this line is also extremely easy to cast, so that even in a cramped position and with little space you can easily sling your fly to the opposite bank. It has an outstanding punch which can fight wind and send big flies with ease.
Last but not least, there is one thing to mention: Despite its relatively short head, this line allows for impressive casting distances and a soulful presentation.
