Commando - Pure Skagit! The Last Skagit Line You Will Ever Fish!
OPST's Commando Heads represent the culmination of decades of innovation in
Skagit casting by Ed Ward and Jerry French. Ed and Jerry were at the forefront
of the "Skagit Revolution", and they have been refining skagit fishing
techniques ever since. These are remarkably efficient, easily casts and
enjoyable for the simple reason that they are specifically designed for SAS
(Sustained Anchor Systemology). The philosophy behind SAS is simple: The Skagit
cast is a water base cast with the rod load coming from the tension between the
water surface and the line. As Such a sustained anchor cast where the fly
remains stationary until the final power stroke is the most efficient form of
casting. Our lines are shorter than traditional skagit lines and perform
exceedingly well with a continuous "out and around" casting stroke. There is no
pause before the final stroke and the cast is one continuous motion. Pure Skagit
lines take beginning casters and make them effective. They take experienced
casters to a whole new universe of casting pleasure. Our Commando heads excel on
conventional two hand "Spey" rods but are optimized for shorter switch rods from
10 -12 foot.
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.
