OPST's Commando Heads represent the culmination of decades of innovation in Skagit casting by Ed Ward. Ed was at the forefront of the Skagit Revolution and he has been refining Skagit fishing techniques ever since.
These heads are remarkably efficient, easily casted and enjoyable, for the simple reason that they are specifically designed for SAS (Sustained Anchor Systemology). The philosophy behind SAS is simple: the Skagit cast is a water-based cast, with the rod load coming from the tension between the water's surface and the line. As such, a sustained anchor cast, where the fly remains stationary until the final power stroke, is the most efficient form of casting.
