OPST 40lb Lazar Running Line Pink

OPST Pure Skagit Lazar Line epitomizes everything people love about monofilament running lines: slickness, easy shooting, and thinness. Even better, it lacks memory, the main drawback common in mono. If you like to make a cast and then kick back and enjoy the scenery while your running line is streaming out, maybe taking a bite of your sandwich as you achieve more distance than ever before, Lazar Line is for you.

This ultra-thin, extremely slick running line will shock you with how little memory it has. We still laugh when we take strips of line off of our reels because we can't believe how good it is, even after years of use. Lazar Line is a low-stretch monofilament, and thanks to that and to its thin diameter, it ties neat and strong knots. We have tested it in both hot and cold conditions and have found it outstanding at any temperature. In cold conditions, initial line stretching will be necessary, but performance will

• Exceptional durability
• Consistent performance in hot and cold conditions
• No permanent memory at any temperature
• High visibility
• Ties beautiful knots
• Calculated stretch- high knot strength

OPST Commando Head 175grain

Ideal rod: 4wt 7'6" to 9'0"

One of the major advantages of a Commando Head is that it allows you to fish big flies on relatively light rods. What this means is that you no longer need to fish a 6 or 7 weight to fish streamers. You will be surprised by the size of fly you can fish on a 4-weight with a Commando Head—size 2 streamers are no problem. We all know that 10 inch trout far outnumber 20 inchers, so in fishing a Commando with a light rod, you are able to enjoy every trout–not just the big ones. Another thing we love about Commando Heads on single hand rods is that they can be cast in a variety of different ways. Skagit casting is the most common method employed, but if your Skagit casting starts to suffer, you can overhead cast them. Or, you can single spey or snake roll with Commando Heads. This variety of casting possibilities makes for a more interesting day on the water, and it allows you to switch up styles if you're not happy with the way you're casting.

For single or double hand fly rods, the Commando Head is revolutionary. Above else, its popularity stems from one fact: it's easy to cast! Try it for yourself, and take your fishing enjoyment to the next level.

OPST Commando Smooth 225 gr.

The original OPST Commando Head changed the game for trout spey and single hand Skagit tactics. But for streamer, dry fly and nymph fishing, where you often fish at close range and strip flies right up to the rod tip, we knew we could improve it.

Enter the Commando Smooth—a Commando Head and a thin, slick coated running line integrated into one with a smooth, gradual taper. No longer will you feel a bump as the running line/Commando Head junction enters the guides. You won't feel anything at all, except a jarring strike as a fish attacks your streamer.

We listened to the requests of numerous Commando Head fans, and created a line that fishes even better than the original. The running line is orange to provide a nice contrast against the Sauk Blue head. If you are looking for a line that can do almost anything, experience the Commando Smooth. It's just like the wildly popular Commando Head. Only smoother. Length: 100 feet. Head weights: 150gr thru 400gr grains.

OPST Micro Skagit D² 8FT Tips (Dual Density T8) with Float

Our OPST Micro Skagit D² is a little different than the 3 tip kit offered direct from OPST and other shops. 

We've replaced the 8FT Full Sink with a 7.5FT SHS 55 Grain Full Floating Tip for the most versatile 3 tip kit.

Included

• Full Float 7.5FT SHS 55 Grain
• D² 8FT 4FT Sink/4FT Float
• D² 8FT 6FT Sink/2FT Float

Micro Skagit D² (Dual Density) Tips (sink/float) are built with the OPST 3WT-5WT Micro Skagit series, 5wt and up single-hand rods, and Trout Spey Rods in mind.

One is 6ft sink/2ft float, and the final one is half and half 4ft sink/4ft float, to cover most on-the-water needs. These tips will give you a different angle of attack in the water than our density-compensated tip options and are a Must Have tool for the toolbox on the water.

OPST Micro Skagit 5wt 10'4"

Their tapers have been designed to pleasantly accommodate both single-handed Spey/Skagit-type casts and two-handed Spey/Skagit-type casts. Whether you’re picking apart small to medium sized rivers on foot swinging soft hackles, throwing big streamers into the bank from a boat, or busting big bushy salmon flies into the teeth of an afternoon breeze, these nifty little hybrid rods should have a permanent place in your quiver. 

The 10'4" 5wt. all have cigar-style single-welled upper grips and switch-style lower handles or a New mini full wells grip option with down locking reel seat for that true two hand rod feel. This series also stands apart from others in its class because it's short length enables great overhead casting. This means you could go out and swing streamers in the morning with your skagit head, but also have the option of swapping over to a dry fly line when you see a hatch that needs to be taken advantage of. 

OPST Micro Skagit D² 8FT Tips 2 Ft. Float / 6 Ft. Sink

Micro Skagit D² (Dual Density) Tips (sink/float) are built with the OPST 3WT-5WT Micro Skagit series, 5wt and up single-hand rods, and Trout Spey Rods in mind.  When Ed Ward talks, one should listen, and we did.  Being one of the original creators of the MOW tip, he saw a need for a lighter, dual-density option for customers chasing trout, bass, and other smaller species, and we met that need!  The specs will be 8 feet long. One is 8ft full sink, one is 6ft sink/2ft float, and the final one is half and half 4ft sink/4ft float, to cover most on-the-water needs. These tips will give you a different angle of attack in the water than our density-compensated tip options and are a Must Have tool for the toolbox on the water.

OPST Pure Skagit SHS Floating Tip 7.5 Feet - 55 Grains

STEELHEAD AND SALMON FLOATING TIPS

We're known for Skagit, but what some people don't know is that if you harness the power of a Skagit head, and finish it with a tapered, floating tip, you get something very similar to a Scandinavian head. Laser-sharp loops and delicate presentations are now possible with a Commando Head, with our new floating Commando Tips. 

For skating flies to aggressive summer steelhead, to chugging poppers for silver salmon to nymphing, these strong, tapered tips are a vital component of a complete fishing kit. Designed for single hand rods all the way up to full-length spey rods, they will work on rods at least as long as 14 feet. Our SHS Commando Floating Tips come with a welded loop at both ends, as well as a line ID on the rear end.
