Question: What is a Skagit line?
Answer: Rio invented and developed the Skagit line a few years ago. It is a short head line that is designed for casting sink-tips and weighted flies. It is a short, fat line with minimal taper that is built to transfer energy effectively and consequently turns over with ease. It is a great tool not only for sink-tip fishing but also learning. The forgiving nature and popularity of this line has led many other manufacturers to produce similar lines (short and fat) under the same name (Skagit).
