These are short and powerful shooting heads. They load easily and do not require a lot of room behind you to get the necessary casting stroke to send these heavier setups to their intended target. These lines are preferred for anglers trying to get flies swinging deep. They are extremely versatile lines, easy to cast, and can be applied to many two-handed scenarios. The Skagit heads should be paired with our Mission Running Line and Mission Tips to complete the kit. Multifilament core, two welded loops for ease of rigging, and rear of head is colored orange to easily identify the transition from running line to head for ideal casting load point.Skagit Heads: 260gr - 420gr heads designed for rods generally up to 12'.Skagit Heads: 450gr - 640gr heads designed for rods 12' and longer.Made in USA.Designed to optimize casting performance for rod lengths short to longTwo welded loops for ease of rigging260gr - 420gr heads designed for rods generally up to 12450gr - 640gr heads designed for rods 12' and longerSkagit heads should be paired with our Mission Running Line and Mission TipsSize ChartSIZE CHART - SKAGIT HEADSUse the following table to understand how sizes relate to different metrics.HEAD WEIGHT, GRAINSHEAD LENGTH, FEETHEAD WEIGHT, GRAMSHEAD LENGTH, METERSRECOMMENDED TIPS, SKAGIT (GRAINS)230 gr15.5'14.9 gm4.72 m80 gr260 gr15.5'16.8 gm4.72 m80 gr310 gr15.5'20.1 gm4.72 m80 gr360 gr15.5'23.3 gm4.72 m80-120 gr420 gr17'27.2 gm5.18 m80-120 gr440 gr18'28.5 gm5.49 m80-120 gr480 gr18.5'31.1 gm5.64 m120 gr520 gr19'33.7 gm5.79 m120 gr560 gr20.5'36.3 gm6.25 m120-160 gr600 gr22'38.9 gm6.71 m160 gr640 gr23.541.5 gm7.16 m160 gr
