Introducing the All-New SHS Pure Skagit Rod Series — Power, Precision, and Innovation in Every Cast

At [Your Company Name], innovation isn’t just a goal — it’s part of our DNA. We are relentless in our pursuit of high-performance materials and technologies that push fly rod design to the next level. Our latest breakthrough? A cutting-edge graphite blend that instantly delivered that unmistakable “wow” factor.

From that discovery, the SHS Pure Skagit rod series was born — a new generation of rods engineered for anglers who demand more from every swing, load, and cast.

Built for Power. Refined for Feel.

The SHS (Skagit High-Speed) Pure Skagit rods combine a crisp, responsive action with a refined build that honors the smooth, load-friendly performance approved by Skagit innovator Ed Ward in our original generation.

Key Features of the SHS Pure Skagit Rod Series:

• Next-Gen Graphite Construction: Our newly discovered graphite blend adds strength, reduces weight, and increases responsiveness — giving you more control and feel with every cast.
• Glossy Cleared Blank Finish: Sharp, clean, and eye-catching — a premium aesthetic for a premium performer.
• New Down-Locking Reel Seat: Enhanced stability and balance with refined components for a seamless fishing experience.
• Premium Cork Handle: Some of the best cork we’ve ever sourced — durable, ergonomic, and built for long days on the water.
• REC Cericoil Guides: Retained from our Gen 1 series for increased rod flex, smooth line management, and long-term durability.

The SHS Rod Lineup — Built for Big Water and Big Fish

Whether you're swinging flies on broad rivers or targeting steelhead and salmon with precision, the SHS Pure Skagit rods deliver unmatched performance.

• 11’0” 7wt – A fast-loading, versatile option for moderate to large rivers.
• 11’6” 8wt – Designed for serious Skagit casters who need to handle heavier heads and sink tips with confidence.

Why Anglers Are Making the Switch to SHS

The SHS series is more than just a rod upgrade — it’s a complete redefinition of modern Skagit rod performance. Ideal for advanced Skagit casting techniques and built to handle tough conditions, the SHS rods deliver on the promise of power, finesse, and fish-turning muscle.

OPST Commando Groove — Dual-Density Skagit Heads for Elevated Swing Control

Meet the OPST Commando Groove — the latest evolution in the Commando family and your new secret weapon for controlled swings, deeper presentations, and precise fly control in complex water.

Designed by Skagit pioneer Ed Ward, the Commando Groove delivers the same proven taper and casting performance as the original Commando Head — now in a dual-density Floating/Intermediate configuration that takes your swing game to the next level.

Why Choose the Commando Groove?

Dual-Density Control
With a floating rear third and intermediate-density front, the Commando Groove sinks your head and tip below surface chop and conflicting currents — slowing your swing and improving presentation. Your fly stays in the strike zone longer, where it counts.

More Natural Swings in Tricky Water
By cutting through surface tension, the Groove gives you better line control, more consistent depth, and improved swing tempo — especially in variable flows or when dealing with wind, eddies, and surface drag.

Trusted Taper, Proven Power
Same short, powerful Commando taper designed for tight casting spaces, bulky flies, and water-loaded Skagit casts. Trusted by pros, optimized for results.

Versatile Grain Range
Available in sizes from 200 grains to 475 grains, the Commando Groove is dialed for everything from trout spey to steelhead and salmon applications.

Commando Groove Features at a Glance:

• Dual-Density Construction: Floating rear + intermediate front

• Length: Same compact, efficient design as original Commando Heads

• Grain Weights: 200 gr – 475 gr (25-grain increments)

• Casting Style: Water-loaded Skagit (single or two-hand)

• Ideal For: Streamers, sink tips, steelhead, salmon, and trout spey

Round Out Your Skagit Arsenal

Whether you're fishing pocket water with a 4wt trout spey or swinging deep on a big river with your 8wt, the Commando Groove brings new depth and control to the Pure Skagit system. Pair it with your favorite OPST sink tip, and you’ve got a stealthy, fish-hunting machine.

Slide into that slot with the Commando Groove — and experience the swing like never before.

OPST Abrasion-Resistant Monofilament – Stealth Brown

Tournament-Tested. Rock Fishing Tough. OPST Strong.

When it comes to leader and tippet material, not all monofilaments are created equal. The OPST Monofilament Line is engineered to outperform — built with technology originally developed for tournament bass fishing and Japanese “Iso Zuri” (Rock Fishing), where abrasion resistance and high strength-to-diameter ratios aren’t luxuries — they’re non-negotiable.

This is not your average mono. By embedding microscopic silicone particles throughout the nylon core and finishing with a proprietary ultra-abrasion-resistant silicon coating, we’ve created a leader material that’s as durable as it is dependable.

Key Features

• Superior Abrasion Resistance
  Designed to withstand sharp rocks, rough structures, and heavy cover — ideal for aggressive environments and toothy fish.

• Ultra-Fine Diameter-to-Strength Ratio
  High tensile strength in a thinner profile means stealthier presentations without sacrificing power.

• Silicone-Enhanced Construction
  Microscopic silicone spheres kneaded into the core during manufacturing increase elasticity and protect internal integrity.

• Silicon Coated for Extra Toughness
  Our exclusive finishing process adds a protective layer that resists nicks, scuffs, and premature wear.

• Calculated Stretch for Stronger Knots
  Enjoy smooth knot cinching and better load distribution — you’ll see the knot strength when you pull tight.

• Stealth Brown Color
  Naturally blends into most freshwater and inshore saltwater environments for low-visibility, high-performance presentations.

Ideal For:

• Trout, steelhead, bass, salmon, and warmwater species

• High-abrasion fisheries — boulder gardens, wood cover, rocks, reefs

• Leader building for swing setups, nymph rigs, and streamers

• Anglers who want maximum durability with no compromise on castability

Add Industrial-Grade Mono to Your Fly Kit

If you're fishing in tough terrain, targeting hard-fighting fish, or just want the most durable mono on the market, this is the spool to reach for. OPST Monofilament in Stealth Brown is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
