Commando Smooth Integrated Skagit Head/Running Line

OPST Commando Smooth — The Evolution of Skagit-Style Versatility

When OPST revolutionized fly fishing with the original Commando Head, it became the go-to line for trout spey and single-hand Skagit casting. But when it came to close-range fishing — streamers, dry flies, and nymphing where line control and seamless stripping matter most — we knew we could take things even further.

Introducing the OPST Commando Smooth

Everything you love about the Commando Head—only smoother.

The Commando Smooth is an integrated Skagit shooting head and running line combined into a single, seamless fly line. Designed with a gradual taper and a slick, high-performance coating, this line eliminates the “bump” where traditional shooting heads and running lines connect — giving you uninterrupted control, maximum sensitivity, and a smoother casting experience.

Why Choose the Commando Smooth?

Integrated Design for Maximum Fishability
The Commando Smooth features a gradual, continuous taper from head to running line — ideal for stripping flies right to the rod tip without interruption or guide chatter.

Perfect for Streamers, Nymphs & Dry Flies
Whether you're stripping streamers in tight, presenting nymphs with precision, or softly landing dry flies, the Commando Smooth adapts to your tactics.

Hi-Vis Running Line for Easy Tracking
The bright orange running line contrasts beautifully against the Sauk Blue head, so you can easily track your line in all water conditions.

Effortless Casting in Tight Spaces
Designed for single-hand and trout spey rods, this line loads quickly, casts easily, and excels in tight quarters and windy conditions.
