Airflo Rage Compact - New Trout Sizes for 2018

New Trout sizes for 2018

Recently added to the Rage Compact line are four new trout spey sizes including 180gr, 210gr, 240gr and 270gr.

The Airflo Rage Compact remains a truly unique skagit head in our spey line arsenal. Full floating design intended to be tipped with polyleaders. By integrating a longer front taper Airflo eliminated the need for an additional floating tip while doing so created a smoother, better casting line. It really excels in strong winds with the ability to punch through like a skagit with fishing qualities of a dry line.

Airflo Description...

Too often we heard the cry for a line that cast like our Skagit Compact, but fishes as a straight floater. So, working with Tom Larimer, we developed the Rage Compact. This new addition to the Skagit family keeps you in the Floatinggame under extremely windy and tight quarter casting situations.

Its aggressive front taper gives ultimate power for driving casts into the strongest winds, the rear taper taper helps load quickly, giving you incredible control in tight casting conditions. The front loop has the line size printed on it for easy recognition. Built on low stretch, low memory braided Power Core.

Taper: Powerful Front Taper
Core: Power Core
Range: ST4/5 - ST8/9
Coating: Ultra-Supple Polyfuse XT
