Airflo Skagit Compact F.I.S.T Shooting Head
Within the last few years, Skagit shooting heads have become extremely popular. They are very easy to cast, they can transport heavy tips and large flies, they are extremely wind resistant and they can be anchored in the tightest spots. But, the innovative Airflo Skagit Compact F.I.S.T offers an additional, major advantage: it will instantly get your flies down into the danger zone!
Conventional Skagit heads are mostly full floating, but the Airflo Skagit Compact F.I.S.T offers a precisely constructed triple density taper, that enables a deeper presentation and therefore more effective fishing. The name „F.I.S.T“ describes the innovative design of this line: „Floating, Intermediate, Sink-Three“. The aggressive S3-Tip will easily transport the heaviest T-Tips, allowing you to fish fast runs and deep pools more effectively - „deep and dirty“! Further, the high floating rear end will stay in the faster surface water providing your fly with speed during the swing – this is a major advantage compared to full sinking lines. And, most of the weight of the belly is located at the rear end, creating extremely easy line handling. Therefore, mending the line and lifting the most aggressive T-Tips has never been easier.
Combined with a selection of different T-Tips the Airflo Skagit Compact F.I.S.T creates a maximum amount of flexibility and efficiency, which leads to countless bent rods all over the world – from Canada to Scandinavia!
Whether Steelhead, Danube salmon, Pacific or Atlantic salmon: The innovative design of this shooting head has already turned several fishing trips into a great success. Furthermore, this compact line has been used extremely successfully on Danish rivers. The name Airflo Skagit Compact F.I.S.T says it all: this exceptional shooting head is as effective as the fist of Rocky Balboa!

Established back in 1990, the American 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!
