Designed for anglers who demand effortless casting with large flies and heavy sink tips, the RIO Skagit Shooting Headdelivers exceptional power and control for modern Spey techniques. Its unique weight distribution deeply loads the rod, producing long, powerful casts with minimal effort while maintaining outstanding fishing sensitivity thanks to RIO's ultra-low stretch core.
Available in both Skagit Max (floating) and Skagit iFlight (intermediate with a floating rear section), these heads cover a wide range of fishing situations. For anglers using single-handed rods, shorter Spey rods, switch rods, or fishing in tight quarters, the Max Short and iShort models provide the same powerful performance in a more compact design.
Built with welded loops for quick rigging and an ID-printed rear loop for instant head identification, the RIO Skagit Shooting Head is engineered to maximize efficiency on the water, making it the ideal choice for casting heavy tips, oversized flies, and reaching distant holding water with confidence.
