Key Features:

4. Tips Included: Comes with 4 interchangeable 15ft tips (likely varying in sink rates, e.g., floating, intermediate, slow sink, fast sink).
Typical Specifications:
– Head Length: Scandi heads are usually 22–35ft (exact length depends on grain weight/rod size).
– Grain Weight: Varies by model (e.g., 300–700 grains for different rod weights).
– Tips: The 15ft tips allow quick adaptation to water conditions (e.g., floating for surface presentations, sinking tips for deeper runs).
Best Uses:
– Spey Casting: Ideal for two-handed rods, offering smooth, long-distance casts.
– Versatility: The interchangeable tips make it suitable for trout, salmon, or steelhead in rivers.
– Floating Main Head: Perfect for surface or near-surface fishing with lightweight flies.
Compatibility:
– Matches with Scandi or medium-action spey rods (check grain window for your rod’s recommended weight).
– Works well with running lines (e.g., Rio SlickShooter).
If Purchasing:
– Confirm the grain weight matches your rod (e.g., a 13ft 7wt spey rod might use a 450-grain head).
– Check tip sink rates (e.g., F/I/S3/S6) if listed.
