Just what I was looking
"Just what I was looking for and it came quickly despite the holiday rush!"
Description
These sinking tips allow you to penetrate deeper into the water column, whether you are making a swung fly presentation or stripping flies. They allow for spey-style presentations on single hand rods. OPST has fished these tips with great success for rainbow trout, sea run cutthroat and smallmouth bass. The tips perform equally well in fresh and salt water. For all of those fish, streamers are extremely effective, and a sink tip is one of the best ways to present them. Depth is often key to catching fish, and the Riffle, Run and Bucket Commando Tips will help you get down to where fish are holding. They have low-stretch cores for quick and effective hook sets, and are a key component of a Skagit fisher's tool kit.

"These turn over flies well"
OPST COMMANDO SINK TIP 5ft, 40gr, Run sink rate
"It’s tough to find a sink tip to use on a light weight, short rod but the 5’ Micro Skagit Commando Sink Tips fills the bill perfectly. I fish for smallmouth on narrow streams requiring short casts with perfect control and chose the 5’, 40gr, Run Series. This tip gets the fly down quickly and it casts with ease. I have used it with a 7’9” 3wt graphite rod and an 8’, 5wt fiberglass rod and it works like a dream. I now intend to invest in the Riffle and Bucket series to round out sink rates. I would highly recommend."
OPST COMMANDO SINK TIP 7.5 ft, 60gr, Run Sink Rate
"For those time when I need a little longer cast, but with a single had rod I decided to try the OPST COMMANDO SINK TIP 7.5 ft, 60gr, Run Sink Rate. I have used it with 6, 7 and 8wt graphite and boron rods and it casts like it is not even there. Light weight, effortless and it gets the fly down whether it is for smallmouth or trout. If you want a sink tip for longer casts that gets down in the water column quickly this tip is for you. I intend to invest in the Riffle and Bucket series next."
