Product information "Opst Micro Skagit Series Double Handed Fly 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 Micro Skagit Series from Opst comprises shorter rods in a low line class that are a real pleasure to fish for steelhead, rainbow trout, brown trout etc.! All rods can be cast both one-handed and two-handed and can be used very flexibly due to their length. Overhanging trees? No problem! Lack of backspace? No problem at all! In combination with the right, short shooting head and a few simple Skagit casts, there are no obstacles on the river that cannot be overcome. The lightweight models in the Micro 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 wet fly simply couldn't be more relaxed. A crisp stop, a mend, a swing, a step. It's no wonder that this light form of two-handed fishing has found so many fans here.
The Micro Skagit Series is equipped with a matt black blank made from 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 and shorter rod for modern fishing with skagit shooting heads and appreciate real all-round potential, you will really enjoy the OPST Micro Skagit Series! The fun factor of these rods is extremely high and they have a real addictive potential that not only die-hard trout anglers will confirm.
