Scientific Anglers Spey Lite Skagit Shooting Head Fly Line
For switch and spey rods 2 weight to 8 weight this is your best choice. Also casts great on a standard single hand rod using single-hand spey casting techniques. You’ll also need a running line to go behind the head.

Carol Greene –
Used this line for trout fishing in a small stream. The cast is smooth and the black marker helps me start each throw accurately. Works well with my spey rod and goes far without tangles.
Liam Howard –
Good for light-duty spey fishing. The taper is short and powerful, which helps with quick casts in tight spaces. A little lighter than other Skagit heads I’ve tried.
Sean Russell –
Perfect for steelhead dredging. The line holds up well in cold water and casts cleanly. The marker is easy to see and helps with consistency.
Benjamin Chapman –
Fits well with my SONAR sinking leaders. Casts true and doesn’t kink. Slightly more sensitive than heavier lines, which is good for small fish.
