OPST's Commando Heads are the result of decades of focus on sustained anchor systemology (SAS) by Ed Ward. They are designed to expand the capabilities of shorter spey rods, switch rods and single hand rods beyond that of normal. You may be surprised at their short length, but this was no accident. The ultra-short design provides an effortless casting feel and enhances performance in circumstances of restricted casting room, troublesome winds and in casting bulky flies. It also makes them more fishable than longer lines that are hard to control on the water. Wanna roll cast? Underhand? Nymph? Single hand Skagit with a haul? Overhead? Go right ahead. You have never cast a line like the Commando.

We at Rogue Valley Anglers Fly Shop think these lines are best suited for use on single handed rods, as the short length skagit head is best suited to a shorter single handed rod. Perfect line for turning your single hander into a fly swinging machine!

Recommended grain weights for different single handed fly rods: Go up 25-50 grains for switch and 50-100 for spey

150 Grains = 3 weight 175 Grains = 3/4 weight 200 Grains = 4/5 weight

225 Grains = 5 weight 250 Grains = 6 weight 275 Grains = 7 weight

300 Grains = 8 weight 325 Grains = 8 weight 350 Grains = 9 weight

375 Grains = 9 weight 400 Grains = 10 weight
