{"product_id":"scientific-anglers-floating-skagit-head","title":"Scientific Anglers Floating Skagit Head","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a well designed, powerful Skagit line designed for modern spey rods in the 12-13' range.  I've cast this head on my 13' 7wt Sage MOD and Winston Nimbus 12'9\" 7wt and found it to be really intuitive, and surprisingly effortless and powerful. It's a bit shorter than some other Skagits on the market. It loads up quick and turns over with the best of em. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Scientific Anglers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have completely redesigned our Skagit head series for 2021.  Leaving the traditional, level-belly Skagit tapers behind, our new lines are fully tapered from end to end.  This provides the smoothest power delivery from the rod, through the line, to the tip, and ultimately to the fly.  We have painstakingly optimized the tip diameter of these heads to cover a broad spectrum of sink tip lengths and weights. No matter what you attach to the end, this line will deliver it accurately with authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Float -\u003c\/strong\u003e The floating head is available in a visible, but not obnoxious, sky blue color.  The back of the head is identified with a black band that contrasts well with bright colored shooting lines. \u003cstrong\u003e450 is 21.5' - 600 is 23.5'.
