Airflo Skagit Rage Compact Heads - Video

When folks call or come into the shop with questions regarding fishing floating set-ups for steelhead and trout, we often start the conversation with the Rage Compact. Why? Because it's longer like a scandi head which is typically used for fishing dry line, however it's much easier to cast. The Rage Compact is also powerful like a skagit head for punching through harsh winds that would typically collapse scandi lines and leaders. Furthermore, its taper allows the use of broader sized flies, and ability to utilize light sinking polyleader tips for fishing your flies deeper if desired. This hybrid line doesn't seem to know any limits and ultimately gets you swinging flies more efficiently, which might just find you more fish at the end of the day!
