RIO®'s Skagit Max Short Shooting Head features ultralow-stretch ConnectCore construction to cast heavy flies and sinking tips with ease while being extremely sensitive to the lightest bites. The head's weight distribution loads rods deeply for long, powerful casts, while the taper produces smooth, easy loops. Excellent for shorter spey and switch rods, especially when fishing in tight areas. Floating line gives you better control of your swing or drift and orange section loops make line easy to see on the water. Printed ID system on the rear of the head. For the best performance, use .024"/.026" shooting line with 200- to 400-gr. heads, .030"-.032" shooting line with 400- to 550-gr. heads, .035"-.037" shooting line with 550- to 675-gr. heads and .040"-.042" shooting line with 675-gr. heads and heavier.
