 Commando - Pure Skagit! The Last Skagit Line You Will Ever Fish!

OPST's Commando Heads are the result of decades of focus on sustained anchor systemology (SAS) by Ed Ward. They are designed to expand the capabilities of shorter spey rods, switch rods and single hand rods beyond that of normal. You may be surprised at their short length, but this was no accident. The ultra-short design provides an effortless casting feel and enhances performance in circumstances of restricted casting room, troublesome winds and in casting bulky flies. It also makes them more fishable than longer lines that are hard to control on the water. Wanna roll cast? Underhand? Nymph? Single hand Skagit with a haul? Overhead? Go right ahead. You have never cast a line like the Commando.

But where these lines really get interesting is in single hand casting. We have taken two handed casting theory, traditionally associated with steelhead and salmon and applied it to the micro end of the spectrum. Now you can skagit cast and swing flies for everything from sea run cutthroat trout to smallmouth bass to panfish with rods as light as a 3 weight, and as short as 6 foot. The same principals of sustained anchor and water load apply. You can haul or not, back cast or not, roll cast, skagit cast, just about whatever you want to do, these lines will do it and they will fly off your rod tip.

"Excellent Skagit head"

Michael Blezien on 6/28/2018 9:57:29 AM

Review: put this on a single hand 9' 5wt along with the lazar line and wow what a major improvement in my close quarter roll casts I recommend this to anyone that wade fishes with no back cast room. After an little practice with some simple spey cast these commando heads really make a difference.

"20 incher"

Michael Costa on 2/19/2018 9:58:40 AM

Review: I purchased a 225 grain Commando Head for my Winston Nexus 9'6 6 weight along with 35lb. Lazer Line and I really like this combination. The first day out I landed a 20 fish on the Lower Sacramento River. The OPST system casts beautifully and I felt that I was connected to my fly and the fish very well. I would highly recommend these products.

"A New Favorite"

JOHN DUNN on 5/17/2017 10:50:10 AM

Review: The new 200gr, 13', Spey/Skagit Commando Head is incredible. Designed as a bridge for single hand application in the spey world this head is nothing short of just plain fun. On my 9' 5wt rod Skagit casting from my pontoon boat is now a breeze. The benefits of this short head are limitless but bringing the fun of Skagit casts to the single hand fly world is brilliant.
