OPST Micro Skagit D² Tips (Dual-Density Sink/Float)

Lightweight Control. Game-Changing Depth Dynamics.

When Skagit innovator Ed Ward identifies a need, we listen. As one of the original creators of the MOW tip system, Ed saw a gap in the market: a lighter dual-density tip solution for anglers targeting trout, bass, and other smaller species on lighter rods.

Enter the OPST Micro Skagit D² Tips — purpose-built for the OPST 3WT–5WT Micro Skagit series, 5wt+ single-hand rods, and trout spey rods. These 8-foot tips bring next-level presentation control to light-line anglers who need to swing, strip, or drift flies with precision and feel.

Why D² Tips Are Different

These aren’t just another sink tip. The dual-density construction allows for a more natural, angled descent — meaning better line tension, more accurate depth targeting, and fewer missed opportunities.

With three configurations, you can easily match your tip to the water type, target species, or desired swing depth.

Built for Light Line, Big Performance

Perfect for:

  • Trout

  • Smallmouth bass

  • Panfish & warmwater species

  • Lightweight streamer presentations

  • Skagit-style casting in small to mid-sized rivers

Whether you're swinging soft hackles or stripping buggers through current seams, these tips provide better control, quicker hooksets, and superior depth access in challenging water conditions.

Complete Your Micro Skagit System

These tips are the missing link in your Micro Skagit kit. They deliver the depth and control of traditional Skagit tips but with a lighter, more balanced feel — ideal for small water and lighter rods.

→ Add OPST Micro Skagit D² Tips to your quiver and experience depth control like never before.
