Product information "Opst Pure Skagit Series Double Handed Rod"
In just a few years, OPST has built up an excellent reputation - far beyond the borders of the USA and Canada. The series of modern shooting heads from OPST, thought through from A to Z, inspire steelheaders as well as salmon and trout anglers alike and convince above all with one thing: 100% practicality. After several years of development and many, many hours of testing on the fishing water, the first OPST rods are finally here. Based on the high demands and specifications of skagit legend Ed Ward, two rod series have been created that harmonise perfectly with the popular OPST shooting heads and impress in terms of performance and workmanship.
The Pure Skagit Series from OPST includes models for a variety of different target fish and application scenarios on the water. Large rainbow trout on the foothills of the Alps, steelhead in Canada or salmon on small and medium-sized rivers in Scandinavia: with these rods, you have many exciting options to choose from. In combination with the right shooting head from Opst and a few simple skagit casts, there are no hurdles on the river that cannot be overcome. Especially with heavy flies, sinking tips or when you have hardly any backspace available, the Skagit style shows its full potential. The lightweight models in the Pure Skagit Series load quickly and bend deep into the blank under load. Precise casts over all casting distances are made with ease. Fishing with a streamer or a salmon fly simply couldn't be more relaxed. A crisp stop, a mend, a swing, a step. It's no wonder that this relaxed form of two-handed fishing has found so many fans here.
The Pure Skagit Series is equipped with a matt black blank made of high-quality carbon fibre and high-quality stainless steel snake guides. The titanium guide ring is extremely resilient and protects the coating of your line or shooting head. Discreet decorative wraps in blue and a high-quality Korkers handle give every rod a classy and timeless finish. Markings on all four sections make it easier to connect them precisely. Each rod is supplied in a high-quality rod tube and case.
If you are looking for a lightweight rod for modern fishing with skagit shooting heads and appreciate real all-round potential, you will really enjoy the OPST Pure Skagit Series! The fun factor of these rods is extremely high and they have a real addictive potential that not only die-hard lovers of two-handed fishing will confirm.
