New A new mid-season launch of the Skagit VersiTip® system combines the ever popular Skagit fly line with a wallet of tips for each situation. Each VersiTip line comes with a full Skagit fly line and a shooting head wallet with a 15 ft density compensated Type 6 sink tip (6 inches per second) and a 15 ft density compensated Type 8 sink tip (8 inches per second). In addition there is a 5 ft floating Skagit Cheater that is useful for tuning in the line’s head length to a precise casting style, fishing situation or rod action.
Skagit casting is a style of spey casting that utilizes special short, heavy heads. The casting style encompasses a minimal amount of physical effort by using a compact and consistent casting stroke and is perfect for casting in tight quarters.
