OPST Commando Smooth Lines and Micro Tips

Get Smooth!

New for 2019

Olympic Peninsula Skagit Tactics takes Commando heads to the next level. For many of us trout spey, single hand rod enthusiast, we struggled with the loop to loop head to running line connection. It interferes with our ability to cast short, strip short and haul line on our single handed spey cast.

Not anymore! For 2019 OPST gives us Commando Smooth

Commando Smooth Starts with the famous Commando Head and seamlessly integrates it with thin (0.025") Running / Shooting line.

The result is a Skagit System that gives anglers the freedom to strip, cast short, double haul without the bump of a loop to loop connection between head and running line.

Most applications for Commando Smooth will be Single Hand Skagit tactics, light Switch Rods and Micro Spey, Trout Spey rods.

The 10 foot Micro Tips really tune you micro trout spey game in perfectly and are the go to steelhead switch rod tips.
