Taking inspiration from Airflo’s classic Skagit Compact Head, their Skagit Driver has been refined through thousands of hours of research and development to deliver a Skagit head that sits slightly lower in the water and provides better, more efficient loading to your cast. A versatile head, the Skagit Driver works well with short or long sink tips, and with its dense design, your rod will load effectively when you’re in tight situations, and your swing will be a little slower to make the most of each cast. Fish it on a Spey or switch rod, you can count on the Skagit Driver to hook fish, whether you’re on the Salmon River or the Umpqua. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Core \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAirflo equips their Skagit Driver Heads with their Power Core technology to add strength and ensure that you’re never fussing with line stretch or memory. This really helps when you’re driving the hook home on those big, fresh steelhead. For additional convenience, Airflo printed welded loops in a variety of colors to make for fast and easy selection while on the water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Streamers and Spey Flies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAirflo created their Skagit Driver Shooting Heads specifically for swinging streamers and Spey flies. Whether you’re tying on a Green Butt Skunk, a large Intruder, or a Muddler, this head is a solid choice. With a dense construction that’s unlike most other Skagit heads, the Skagit Driver slows your swing so that your flies breathe just a touch more and your whole swing is a little slower. Perfect for those who make a strong habit of the step, cast, swing method, the Skagit Driver Shooting Head will quickly become a go-to in your two-hand systems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold\/Moderate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - Airflo designs their Skagit Driver Heads to be fished in cold to moderate temperatures, which is great for steelhead season, but limits its use once you get into water much above 70 degrees as it will begin to soften up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaper\/Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Mass Toward the Front of the Head\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - Airflo’s Skagit Driver Heads are made in grains ranging from 450 up to 750 that increase by 30-grain intervals, which makes for easy fine-tuning to match your rod action, fly size, and water conditions. All of these different weights carry an efficient taper with a unique density that will slow your swing and sit just under the water. Starting at the rear, the Skagit Driver has a short rear taper that makes for fast loading, this transitions into a long 16ft belly that extends reach on longer casts, and Airflo finishes things with an aggressive front taper that turns your sink tip rigs over with ease. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Freshwater, Trout Spey, and Steelhead\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoops:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Front welded loop (leader or sink tip to fly line connection) and back welded loop (running line to shooting head connection)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSinking\/Floating: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Resources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/all\/tropical-saltwater-fly-line-shootout-buyers-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2020 Tropical Saltwater Fly Line Shootout \u0026amp; Buyer's Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/all\/fly-line-shootout-review-buyers-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFly Line Temps: Tropical Vs.
