Skagit Switch Floating Heads	The difference between Scandi & Skagit

Only Airflo lines are made from UV resistant super tough polyurethane. There are no liquids used in the manufacture of Airflo lines and therefore last longer than PVC lines. With its dry lubricant in the outer coating Airflo lines stay cleaner than other lines and don’t require as much care as PVC lines. By cleaning your line, you help the front of the line float, and keep friction in the guides from degrading line smoothness. Airflo lines are hardly affected by DEET and other chemicals that would normally ruin a fly line. You don’t have to worry about getting insect repellant on Airflo fly lines. Note that two hand lines experience more stress than other lines and focus stress immediately adjacent to the reinforced loop at each end of the head. After extended use a braided loop can be put onto the head to replace factory loops that show signs of wear, a common practice in Scandinavia.

Rage Compact Spey Shooting Head Too often we heard the cry for a line that casts like a Skagit Compact, but fishes as a straight floater. So, Working with Tom Larimer, Airflo developed the new RAGE COMPACT. This new addition to the Spey family of lines keeps you in the “Floating” game under extremely windy and tight quarter casting situations. Its aggressive front taper gives ultimate power for driving casts into the worst winds, and the rear taper helps the rod load quickly, giving you incredible control and launch in tight casting conditions. The Rage’s characteristics also allow you to maintain your same compact casting stroke. The Rage is fast becoming the line of choice for fishing surface and near surface presentations. The Mint Green color stands out, so you “See” your head at any distance, allowing a measure of control during the swing/drift. Nine sizes from 360 to 600 grains, and lengths of 28’ to 32’ makes matching the proper
size to almost any two-handed rod. Heavy duty loops at both ends, the front loop has the line size printed on it making for easy changing and head recognition. As with other Airflo Skagit heads, the Rage is built on a low stretch/low memory 30lb. braided power core. Ready to fish straight from the box, loop it on to your running line, add a leader, that killer pattern, and away you go. The Video below shows the Rage Line in action:

Tactical Steelhead Spey Shooting Head Take the tight loop and casting ease of a Scandi Compact head and couple it to the versatility of a multi-tip line and you have the basis for the Airflo Tactical Steelhead shooting head. To help cut through the wind and to make casting modest sink tips and larger flies easier, the Tactical Steelhead has a larger tip diameter than the Scandi Compact. With a smooth front taper and removable floating tip the newest two-hand line from Airflo will convert from a floating line to sink tip better than any existing line. The mint green colored heads come in a #5 weighing 400 grains all the way to a #9 weighing 670 grains. Unique to the Tactical Steelhead is the 8 foot removable ridged floating tip. The ridged tip helps anchor the cast. Airflo's indestructible heavy duty loops connect the tip to the head and the head to the running line. All sizes are made on a low stretch 30lb core. Remove the floating tip and connect your
favorite sink tip and get down. Color: Pale Mint Green

Speydicator Spey Line The Speydicator was designed to throw an unreasonable amount of weight at the end of an unreasonable length of tippet with an unreasonably large indicator. With the help of steelhead junkies (who would rather remain unnamed) the Airflo Speydicator floating line has evolved into a tool any serious steelhead nymph angler cannot live without. The lines come in four sizes starting at a WF6. They all have a short 21 to 23 foot head with a long 12 to 15 foot rear taper. Behind the rear taper is a 25 to 30 foot heavy level mending zone. The combination of the rear taper and mending zone allows the fisherman to reposition the head after casting and still have enough mass to stack mend line for 60 feet or more. After the mending zone the line is made with Airflo's unique low stretch ridged running line, helping you to stick fish even at the end of the longest drifts.

Skagit Compact Heads NEW! Complete Skagit Compact Head Kit
Airflo lines are very smooth!		Spey casting is more easily learned with instruction.
New in 2008, this new shorter and more compact head instantly made a huge impact in both design influence and sales within the industry. It is still one of the most popular lines of its type in the world. The Skagit Compact heads were designed to make fishing in tough places easier. The heads were developed with the help of serious line nerds and Skagit guides like Dec Hogan, who made their living being able to get the fly down to the fish with limited room to make a "D" loop. These lines increment every 30 grains from 360 to 720, ensuring you will never need to cut and splice a line ever again. The heads range from 22 to 27 feet, come with the toughest loop design in the industry, and are now numbered and color coded so you will never need to confuse one line from another."

Skagit Compact Intermediate Heads

Great Lakes anglers identified the need for a line that would cast and fish like our Skagit compact, but would avoid all the surface hydraulics caused by corrugated bottom structures. While in development and testing the Skagit Intermediate Compact opened our eyes to a whole new level of fly presentation. No longer do you have to put up with tumultuous surface currents pulling at the floating portion of your Skagit system. The Skagit Intermediate gets you below the surface and into more even, mid-strata flows, allowing for a smoother more direct fly presentation. Two tone in color, the front taper and belly section are transparent Heron Gray intermediate, and the floating back taper is Sky Blue. Featuring Power Core for direct contact and solid hook sets, Airflo's industry leading Flexi-loops at both ends, and easy to read head size label. Skagit casting anglers will benefit from this line no matter where you fish.

Skagit Switch Floating Heads

The need had become blatantly obvious--a shorter head to match the now extremely popular Switch rods, and shorter Spey rods. But the "right" line to match these versatile tools had been unavailable, until now. The new Skagit Switch line hits the mark dead on. Shorter in length than the Airflo Skagit Compact, this new addition to the Skagit group of lines vary from 18' to 20' with 7 sizes ranging from 360 to 540 grains. Designed to load fast action switch rods in tight casting situations, move 10' to 12' of sink tip, and reach out to hit the "zone". Looped at both ends for ease of use, the front loop has the line size clearly marked for easy identification. The Mint Green color keeps the line visible and controllable at any distance. Couple this with your favorite Shooting Line and you have the pinnacle of switch casting setups. Line come packaged with Airflo Line Pouch that clips into the Airflo Head Wallet. Mint Green color.

Compact Scandi Shooting Heads

New for 2009, the Scandinavian Compact lines are designed to perform with modern shorter rods or where back cast room limits the available space for your "D" loop. Scandi Compacts come in ten sizes from the scant 270 grain 29' #4/5 to its largest brother, the 540 grain 34' #8/9. These heads have made casting so easy it isn't fair to those who had to learn with a conventional long belly line. Whether it's steep banks or tough winds ripping up the canyon, the Scandi Compact helps anglers of any skill level cast like a pro in no time.

Comparison of Skagit and Scandinavian Shooting Head
Line Design, Casting and Fishing Philosophies

The Science of Spey Casting/Fishing seems to have diversified along three main schools (or philosophies). Those are regularly called the Traditional, Skagit and Scandinavian methods. Traditional Spey casting methods have evolved slowly over the past several hundred years. This evolution was fueled by incremental changes in rod/line technology which resulted in improvements in the use of materials that were available. Understanding of casting dynamics often arose from these changes in technology. More responsive tools lead to new casting techniques. Progress was slow because of the relative sameness of woods and animal fibers from which all fly rods and lines were constructed. When superior synthetic materials for rods/line construction became available, casting techniques also began to change. During this same period, scientific methods also became available for analyzing the dynamics of fly casting. This lead to a quantum leap in how much fly line speed could be developed. The Scandinavian and Skagit methods, have each evolved over the last twenty years. The two methods have evolved independently on opposite sides of the planet. The Skagit method could be termed a Pacific Northwest winter steelhead method. Skagit and Scandi methods each have applications appropriate for steelhead fishing. At first the differences between Scandinavian Style and Skagit Styles doesn't seem very apparent. Both styles employ lightweight, medium-length two-hand rods and shooting head fly lines. Both methods insist that the cast is thrown with emphasis on the under-hand (if you are Scandinavian), or bottom-hand (if you are North American). Yet, within the subtle differences between rod/line designs and casting methods, there is an interesting divergence in actual fishing application. Scandinavian rods are stiffer and faster action than Skagit rods, which are actually fairly "Traditional Action". Scandinavian Action rods are very fast and Skagit rods are pretty slow. The Scandi rods store the most power in the tip of the rod, and Skagit rods concentrate power lower into the butt. The difference in casting strokes between the two methods might be characterized by the fact that the Skagit cast can use a hard, extended anchor on the water and a continuous acceleration to the stop. The Scandinavian method uses a very light anchor on the water and a slight deceleration and then reacceleration in the formation of the D-loop. The Scandinavian cast ordinarily uses a longer, narrower D-loop than the Skagit cast. Part of the reason is, that Scandinavian flies are usually slightly smaller and lighter in weight than many of the flies used in the Pacific Northwest during the winter season. Also, apparently Atlantic Salmon are more prone to come to the surface than are our winter steelhead. The Scandinavian method fishes the fly downstream at a steep angle that brings the fly across slowly on a steady predictable course. The Skagit method often presents the fly more across-stream, or even slightly upstream, then the fly is allowed to drift and sink before coming under full tension. When both methods are applied in their purest form, you can readily see how the tackle and casting methods evolved along divergent paths. The main differences between the fly lines is that the Skagit line concentrates more weight in a shorter mass, especially in the sinking tip portion, which helps turn over heavy, bulky flies. The Scandi Head uses a long Polyleader to extend it's length. Polyleaders are actually made from fly line material and when added to a shooting head, become part of the total length and mass of the head. When their influence on the line is portrayed on paper, the overall design of the Scandi shooting head doesn't seem radical. Interestingly, the favored methods that have been evolving along the Sandy and Clackamas Rivers are kind of in-between or a cross-between the two methods, and both Scandi and Skagit methods are gaining popularity here.

Airflo Ridge Running/Shooting Line, Pre-looped
The perfect compliment to any shooting head, Ridge technology comes to the fore on our running lines. Reduced surface friction not only increases distance, but also helps reduce tangles - loose coils of line slide over each other easily to eliminate snarl ups. A low stretch Power core and an oversized ‘Flexi loop’ complete what we consider to be the ultimate running line for shooting heads. Color is bright orange.
