The Skagit Timberline is an 18-foot shooting head that brings effortless performance to your coastal steelhead program. The compact design makes shorter two-handed rods sing when casting space is limited. Because of its heavily rear-loaded and progressively tapering design, it easily handles the heaviest T-tips, while still delivering a full range of marabous and modern steelhead flies with controlled loop precision.
"Guiding on Washington's Olympic Peninsula is a game of overcoming obstacles. Weather being the obvious one. But focusing on what we can control is why we designed this head. For my style of fishing, it's the perfect mix, a compact Skagit that lends itself to larger grain weights more suitable for heavier rods – without sacrificing feel.” — Gray Struznik, OP Fly Fishing, WA
