Airflo Skagit Driver
Airflo
Airflo Skagit Driver spey heads are the latest generation in a continuous evolution of the popular Skagit Compact spey heads. Now, we have the third generation Airflo Skagit Driver and the improvements and adaptations promise to keep Airflo as a leading producer of lines in the Spey world. The Airflo Skagit Driver, with a higher density, helps anglers load the rod, slow down their presentation, and cast into wind. At 23 to 25 feet, they are the perfect length for today's popular Spey rod lengths of 12-13.5 feet.
Here is what Airflo has to say about the new Airflo Skagit Driver:
Two hand anglers that need to get sink tips delivered to bouldery runs with minimal back casts have chosen Skagit-style heads as the tool for the job. Despite extra short and other more specialized Skagit-style lines coming out, the Skagit Compact is still the standard, and has been redesigned as the all new Airflo Skagit Driver.
The Airflo Skagit Driver is the culmination of hours of design and field testing. This generation has been redesigned to sit lower in the water, helping to better load the rod when casting.
