OPST Micro Skagit Rod Update

The OPST Micro Skagit Rods consist of three models including 399-4, 4100-4, and a 5104-4. The first run of 5104's had the longer full wells spey grip while the two smaller micro speys carried the reverse half wells design.

Just in...We got notice that the 5104-4 will now share the same reverse half wells as the two smaller microspeys.

At time of this writing we had one 1st Gen model in stock.

New for 2020 - OPST Micro Skagit Series Two Handed Rods

Designed By Skagit Legend Ed Ward

These rods represent decades of dedication purely to sustained-anchor two-handed casting. A rod reflecting its designer and a true illustration of Ed’s vision. 

Olympic Peninsula Skagit Tactics is proud to release our very own line of Micro Skagit and Pure Skagit Two-Handed Rods, designed by Ed Ward. We developed our rods over five years during which we refined the taper to represent Ed’s concepts. It will initially include six rods in total, ranging from a 9’9” Micro Skagit Two-Handed 3wt up to a 11’6” 8wt, and every whole rod weight in-between.

This line-up will be classified by design differences, into two categories:

• Micro Skagit - 399-4, 4100-4, 5104-4
• Pure Skagit - 6108-4, 7110-4, 8116-4, 9123-4

OPST Micro Skagit

The Micro Skagit category consists of three rods rated to cast 275 grain heads or lower. Their tapers have been designed to pleasantly accommodate both single-handed Spey/Skagit-type casts and two-handed Spey/Skagit-type casts.

Whether you’re picking apart small to medium sized rivers on foot swinging soft hackles, throwing big streamers into the bank from a boat, or busting big bushy salmon flies into the teeth of an afternoon breeze, these nifty little hybrid rods should have a permanent place in your quiver.

The 9’9” 3wt and 10’4wt both have cigar-style single-welled upper grips and switch-style lower handles, while the 10’ 4” 5wt has a grip/handle configuration like the Pure Skagit Rod style outlined in the next section. Rod color is Matte Black with Blue Accent Wraps
