RIO’S TWIST CLIPS are ultra-fast, easy connection clips that allow anglers to change flies with extreme ease and speed, and prevents leaders and tippet sections getting too short. Simply tie the appropriate sized clip on to the end of your leader and either twist or clip on your fly. The Size 2 Twist Clips are trout fly focused and are ideal for flies in #4 - #8. The Size 3 Twist Clips are more salmon/steelhead sized and work with flies in the #1/0 - #4.

The Commando Head is the one that started the trout spey and single hand spey casting phenomenon. These ultra-short heads (running from a mere 12' to 18' in length) will let you make all manner of spey casts on your 9 foot single hand rod, trout spey, or switch rod. Note that these heads must be matched up with a running line such as Lazer Line. For sizing recommendations see the image to the left.

If you love to see your Skagit head really fly, OPST's Lazer Line is hard to beat. Lazer line is super slick, has very low memory for tangle-free casts and is low-stretch so you can feel those gentle grabs. See below for sizing recommendations.

If you are looking for all the benefits of fishing a Commando Head but without the loop-to-loop connection, then the Commando Smooth is the line for you. It integrates a Commando head with a thin, slick running line to create a 100 foot line that casts like a dream on single hand, micro spey and switch rods. Note that the head length is given with each size, but the overall line length is 100 feet. For line size recommendations, see the image to the left.

Rio’s MOW Tips are the ideal way to add a sink tip to your switch or spey rod. Heavy MOW Tips are 10 feet in length, built on a low stretch base, feature T-14 (9 ips sink rate) in the sinking portion and come in a variety of sinking combinations. They are looped on both ends and laser labeled for easy identification. In general Heavy MOW Tips work well on Skagit lines of 575 grains and above.

The Launch is our favorite "standard length" Skagit head for your Spey rod. At 23'-25' in length, the Launch smoothly casts big flies and heavy tips. The use of Rio's proprietary Slickcast means this line will last longer and the newly refined taper better matches up with MOW tips, T-11, T-14 and other heavy tips.

Not sure which running line to get for your switch or Spey rod? Get this one. We love Rio's Metered Running Line. It is super slick so it really flies but it is still easy to handle with cold hands. It has a low stretch core so hook sets are solid and executing casts is straight forward. And the color changes every 10 feet so you can easily gage how far your cast went and effectively cover a run or pool.

The Skagit Max Power is the 'Short' version of the Skagit family and is ideal for switch rods and short Spey rods. If you are swinging Alaska-sized flies on your switch rod this is the line you want. The refined taper smooths out the cast when using MOW Tips or 10 feet of T11 or T14. And with a Slickcast coating these lines are the most durable and long lasting on the market.
