The Skagit Driver sits slightly lower in the water helping to better load the rod when making a cast. What's more, its unique density slows down the swing, which keeps you in the game longer. Armed with Power Core technology and printed welded loops in varying colors for easy identification, this head's legit.

Airflo's Skagit Compact has been the standard for all other skagit style spey heads. This year the Skagit Compact is reborn in the all new Skagit Driver.

The Skagit Driver is the culmination of thousands of hours of design, observation, and field testing. The Driver sits lower in the water helping to better load the rod when making the cast and reducing the chance to "blow your anchor".

For nearly 70 years, the majority of fly lines have been made from PVC — a naturally rigid plastic that requires the use of plasticizers to make PVC lines functional.  Unfortunately, these plasticizers are anything but a permanent part of a PVC fly line.

You see, from the minute it’s made, a PVC line begins breaking down — leaching plasticizers into the environment and contaminating you and the waters you fish. Once it has shed enough of these chemicals, it becomes prone to cracking, and sometimes, even failure.

As if all that’s not enough, as it decomposes, PVC is known to release Dioxins — a group of lethal, bio-accumulating toxins. Consequently, it’s virtually impossible to safely dispose of a PVC line.

All of which is why Airflo has never used PVC to produce our lines.  Since 1984, our lines have been made from Polyurethane — an inert, stable, recyclable material that requires no plasticizers, performs better and lasts far longer than PVC lines.
