It is intended for freshwater use and performs well in cold to medium water temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts very short design makes it especially useful with shorter Spey rods, when wading deep or wherever casting space behind the angler is limited. The head is designed to transfer power efficiently when fishing heavier sink tips and weighted streamers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many conventional Skagit heads, it features a \u003cstrong\u003efully tapered belly\u003c\/strong\u003e that helps produce consistent turnover and smooth power delivery.

This improves shooting performance while also supporting coating durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black rear section provides strong contrast against the \u003cstrong\u003eMist Green\u003c\/strong\u003e body, making it easier to see the position of the head and identify the correct overhang before casting. The line uses a braided multifilament core designed for cold and moderate climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"responsive-table-wrapper\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"responsive-table\"\u003e\n    \u003ctable class=\"flyline-table\"\u003e\n      \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003cth\u003eVariant\u003c\/th\u003e\n          \u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n          \u003cth\u003eHead length\u003c\/th\u003e\n          \u003cth\u003eMPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003c\/thead\u003e\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e480 grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e31.1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e19 ft \/ 5.8 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e140751\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e510 grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e33 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e19 ft \/ 5.8 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e140768\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e540 grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e35 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e20 ft \/ 6.1 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e140775\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e570 grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e37 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e20.5 ft \/ 6.2 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n          \u003ctd\u003e140782\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"right-fade\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"table-scroll-hint\"\u003e← Scroll table sideways →\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e* Grain weight according to the manufacturer refers to the weight of the first 30 ft of line.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e floating Skagit shooting head\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black \/ Mist Green\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e braided multifilament\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e freshwater\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e cold to medium\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spey, streamers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget species:\u003c\/strong\u003e trout, steelhead, salmon\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoops:\u003c\/strong\u003e welded front and rear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ScientificAnglers","offers":[{"title":"480 grain","offer_id":55001451430230,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"510 grain","offer_id":55001451462998,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"540 grain","offer_id":55001451495766,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"570 grain","offer_id":55001451528534,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/3667\/6438\/files\/scientific-anglers-skagit-short-packaging.jpg?v=1786866685","url":"https:\/\/www.thymallus.com\/en\/products\/scientific-anglers-skagit-short","provider":"Thymallus Fly Fishing Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
