| Rio Skagit Short Shooting Heads for casting in tight places. | |
| These are the lines for fishing sinking tips with Switch Rods and short Spey Rods. Short Heads are also for longer rods and heavier rods being used in tight places, such as working under trees on the deep sizes of runs. Casting in tight places can result in a lot of "Bloody Ells" unless the total head length is shortened to match your swing-length. Rods with fast actions work well in these situations because they allow even shorter stroke lengths. Skagit Short Heads work well when M.O.W. Tips are added, especially when working smaller rivers. Heavier Skagit Short Heads combine well with many lengths of T-14 and T-17 for reaching down into the boulders. |

| Skagit Shorts are Skagit lines designed for shorter rods, both single-hand and switch rods. The heads on these lines are 20' (6,2m) long (the perfect ratio for rods between 9' and 11') while head weights are light enough for rods down to 5-weight. The line is bright green. As with all other shooting heads, a shooting line needs to be added, and as with all other Skagit lines, a front tip needs to be added to complete the set up. | |
