OPST Micro Skagit Trout Series Full-Wells Zweihandrute

The company OPST has earned an excellent reputation in just a few years—far beyond the borders of the USA and Canada. OPST's well-thought-out series of modern shooting heads excite steelhead anglers as well as salmon and trout fishermen, impressing especially with one thing: 100% practicality. After several years of development and countless test hours on the water, the first OPST rods are finally here. Based on the high demands and specifications of Skagit legend Ed Ward, two rod series have been created that perfectly harmonize with the popular OPST shooting heads and are impressive in terms of performance and craftsmanship.

The OPST Micro Skagit Trout Series Full-Wells Two-Handed Rods by OPST include shorter rods in lower line weights, making fishing for trout and other species a true pleasure! All rods can be cast either single-handed or two-handed, and their length makes them extremely versatile. Overhanging trees? No problem! Lack of backcasting space? Not a problem at all! In combination with the matching, short shooting head and a few simple Skagit casts, there are no obstacles on the river that can't be overcome. The lightweight models of the Micro Skagit Series load quickly and bend deeply into the blank under pressure. Pinpoint casts at all distances come effortlessly, either with overhead or spey casts. Fishing with a streamer or wet fly couldn't be more relaxed. A crisp stop, a mend, a swing, a step—no wonder this lightweight form of two-handed fishing has gained so many followers, even here.

The Micro Skagit Series is equipped with a matte black blank made of high-quality carbon fiber, REC Cericoil guides, and stainless steel snake guides. The rods also feature a crisper action and new graphite technology, as well as a down-locking reel seat for optimal weight distribution—similar to Euro-nymph fly rods. The premium cork handle fits comfortably in the hand and retains its shape over the years. The upper Full Wells grip is shorter than on most two-handed rods, making it ideal for overhead casting as well!

If you're looking for a lightweight and shorter rod for modern fishing with Skagit shooting heads and appreciate true all-round potential, you'll certainly enjoy the OPST Micro Skagit Series! The fun factor of these rods is extremely high, and they have a true addiction potential that not only die-hard trout anglers will confirm.
