FAQ
What is the difference between floating and sinking tips?
Floating tips are designed for use when the bait needs to stay on the surface. Sinking tips allow the lure to descend to deeper waters, with specific sinking weights (Sink 1 to Sink 7) providing different drop rates based on density and grain weight.
Are these tips suitable for spey casting?
Yes, these Skagit tips are specifically designed for spey casting, offering better control and delivery when casting long distances with a weighted line.
What types of fish are best targeted with these tips?
These tips are ideal for Atlantic Salmon, Salmon, Steelhead, and Trout, especially in cold to medium water conditions.
Jan Buckland –
Used these tips for steelhead fishing in spring. The sinking performance is consistent and the loops hold up well after several casts. Easy to pick up with the shooting texture. Great for long casts in open water.
Jake Cornish –
Fished with these in a cold water stream. The density options match the current perfectly. The tapered design gives a natural presentation. No issues with breakage after multiple uses.
Stephen Morgan –
Good quality tips, especially the 12-foot kit with leader wallet. The sinking speeds are accurate as listed. A bit heavy for light trout, but works well for larger species.
John Forsyth –
Perfect for spey casting. The welded loops are durable and the texture helps with smooth retrieval. Sinking 5 and 7 worked well in deeper runs.
