The Lite Skagit is perfect for small streams and trout fishing. The black marker helps me start my cast accurately. I use it with 210 grain SONAR leaders and it feels balanced on my light two-handed rod.
Adrian Murray –
Works well for light Spey fishing. The short head makes it easy to handle with a smaller rod. I noticed a slight difference in feel at the higher grain weights, but overall it’s reliable for daily trout trips.
