Introducing the Next Generation: MS² Micro Skagit Rods — Feel the Difference

At Olympic Peninsula Skagit Tactics, innovation is in our DNA. We’re constantly on the hunt for cutting-edge technologies to elevate our fly fishing gear — and our latest breakthrough takes performance to the next level.

In our mission to enhance the trusted 8wt Pure Skagit rod, we discovered a revolutionary graphite blend that immediately stood out. This wasn't just another material — it had that unmistakable “wow” factor. From this exciting discovery, the MS² (Micro Skagit Generation Two) series was born.

What’s New in the MS² Micro Skagit Rods?

These second-generation rods deliver a crisper, more responsive action thanks to the advanced graphite construction, all while retaining the signature feel that Ed Ward approved in our original series. Designed for anglers who demand precision, power, and versatility, the MS² rods are loaded with upgrades:

  • New Graphite Technology: Lighter, stronger, and more sensitive — experience next-level casting control.
  • Full-Well Upper Handle: Cast effortlessly in both single-hand and two-handed Skagit styles.
  • Upgraded Cork: Premium-grade cork for improved comfort, grip, and longevity.
  • New Down-Locking Reel Seat: Engineered for balance and stability, featuring refined reel seat components.
  • REC Cericoil Guides: Retained from Gen 1 for enhanced rod flex and long-lasting durability.

Whether you're targeting trout on small rivers or exploring tight casting zones, the MS² series offers 3wt, 4wt, and 5wt configurations — perfectly tuned for trout spey fishing.


Why Anglers Are Upgrading to MS² Micro Rods

The MS² line isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a reimagining of what a Micro Skagit rod can be. Designed for anglers who crave precision and performance in a compact form, these rods embody innovation without sacrificing the feel that made our first-generation series a favorite.

Come experience the MS² Micro Skagit rods for yourself — and truly Feel the Difference.

Excellent rod for the trout rivers I fish out here in Northern California. It's light weight, casts beautifully. Doesn't matter if it's soft hackles with a float tip or bigger streamers with a sink tip. It's a great rod and so fun to cast on the smaller to medium sized waters. If you are looking for a fun, light two hander to skagit cast to trout, then this is the one. The 4wt is perfect for what I'm fishing, and it will also cast a 5wt WF line with a dry fly nicely so you aren't locked down to just a swing rod. I highly recommend this rod if you are looking for a light weight trout spey rod.
