SA Skagit Floating Line – Black
Scientific Anglers has completely redesigned its Skagit head series for 2021, moving away from traditional level-belly tapers to fully tapered lines from end to end. This design delivers smoother power transfer from the rod through the line to the fly tip, ensuring accurate and consistent performance.
The new floating head is optimized for a wide range of sink tip lengths and weights. The tip diameter has been carefully adjusted to maintain precision regardless of what is attached to the end of the line.
Available in a subtle sky blue color that is visible without being distracting, the back of the head features a black band for clear contrast with bright shooting lines.

The line feels much smoother in the water. I’ve been using it for steelhead fishing and noticed better control when casting and retrieving. The color is subtle but easy to see when the line is in motion.
Katherine Oliver –
The fully tapered design makes a noticeable difference in how the line responds to the rod. It’s more consistent and less prone to tangles during long casts.

Works well with my current setup. The floating head stays stable and doesn’t drag in the current. A bit more expensive than older models, but the performance is worth it.
