If you’re a spey geek who reads our blog regularly, you’ve heard a bit about the Airflo Skagit Switch head
. We told you about it way back in 2010, and last year we wrote our review of it.
Our summary on this head is basically that…
- It’s a modern Skagit head by Airflo designed for shorter spey rods and switch rods.
- It actually works on rods in the 13 foot range too.
- It turns over big tips and flies really well.
- If you’re casting in tight quarters, there’s nothing like it.
Tom Larimer is our buddy and also one of the masterminds behind this head. We’ve got a quick video clip today of Tom talking a bit about the basics around the Airflo Skagit Switch. Click the video below to animate Tom.
NOTE: If you’re viewing this in a newsletter or a reader, click here to see Tom talk about the Skagit Switch on our web site.
Something I didn’t mention in the video… When lining the Airflo Skagit Switch, go 30 grains lighter than your Skagit Compact. For example, if you like the 510 gr. Skagit Compact on your 7136, go 480 gr. in the switch.
Happy Casting!
