SA Spey Skagit Float Head
A heavy-duty floating fly line section designed to turn over large flies and heavy sink tips with ease, offering Australian fly fishers a powerful tool for two-handed casting.
The Scientific Anglers Spey Skagit Float Head is built for those situations where you need to move a lot of mass with minimal back-cast room. Its short, powerful taper excels at loading Spey rods quickly, making it a go-to choice for chasing large species in flowing water. By concentrating the weight in a compact head, it generates the kinetic energy required to punch through wind and deliver bulky streamers or heavy tungsten tips to the target. Whether you are swinging for sea-run trout in Tasmanian rivers or targeting heavy-hitting freshwater species, this Skagit head provides a reliable and manageable casting experience.
