Sci Angler Skagit Floating Head
We have completely redesigned our Skagit head series for 2021. Leaving the traditional, level-belly Skagit tapers behind, our new lines are fully tapered from end to end. This provides the smoothest power delivery from the rod, through the line, to the tip, and ultimately to the fly. We have painstakingly optimized the tip diameter of these heads to cover a broad spectrum of sink tip lengths and weights. No matter what you attach to the end, this line will deliver it accurately with authority.
The floating head is available in a visible, but not obnoxious, sky blue color. The back of the head is identified with a black band that contrasts well with bright colored shooting lines.
- Compact, powerful design with fully tapered belly for consistent turnover and accurate delivery

The Skagit floating head delivers a smooth and consistent turnover. The fully tapered design makes a noticeable difference in how the line responds to the rod. The sky blue color is subtle but helpful to see in the water. Works well with both light and medium sink tips.

I’ve used several floating heads before, and this one feels more responsive. The black band on the back stands out well against bright lines. It’s a solid upgrade from the older models.

The accuracy of the tip delivery is excellent. Whether I’m casting light flies or heavier ones, the head maintains consistent performance. The color is not flashy, which is a plus in natural settings.
