Product information "Airflo Skagit - Floating Belly - Double Handed Shooting Head"

The innovative Airflo Skagit represents the next generation of short Skagit heads, now featuring Airflo’s latest technologies such as Superflo.

Its unique design includes a short rear taper, a compact belly, and a front taper that is slightly longer than the rear taper. The tip of the front taper is designed to carry and turn over all types of leaders – from Polyleaders to T-Tips – with ease. This gives the shooting head maximum flexibility for adaptable setups and effective fishing, even with minimal backcasting space. Thanks to this design, it is surprisingly easy to cast, can handle larger flies, and is forgiving of imperfect anchors when space is tight.

In addition to the Superflo technology that provides outstanding floatation, these short heads also come with a low stretch core for direct contact and excellent strike detection, ultra-strong welded Power Loops on both ends, and a clearly marked line ID for easy identification.

Airflo’s Skagit shooting heads are known for their simple yet brilliant design that makes casting a breeze and, when combined with various sink tips, offer maximum versatility.

About Airflo:

Established back in 1990, the British manufacturer Airflo is known worldwide for high-quality fly lines and all kinds of leaders. In contrast to the lines of many other manufacturers, these lines are not made of PVC. They consist of polyurethane and they are completely PVC-free. Thus, they do not contain any plasticisers, which would evaporate over time. Therefore, these lines have multiple environmental benefits: They do not release harmful plasticisers into our waters and they save valuable resources due to their excellent durability. Further, they combine an outstanding performance with a great value for money. In addition to modern fly lines, this large selection also includes shooting heads, running lines and all kinds of leaders. Therefore, Airflo offers the perfect line for every type of fishing – whether you’re fishing in fresh or saltwater!
