The Launch is our favorite “standard length” Skagit head for your Spey rod. At 23′-25′ in length, the Launch smoothly casts big flies and heavy tips. The use of Rio’s proprietary Slickcast means this line will last longer and the newly refined taper better matches up with MOW tips, T-11, T-14 and other heavy tips.

From Rio:
RIO Skagit Launch heads deliver the power needed to cast large flies and sinking tips more elegantly than ever before. The unique weight distribution deeply loads rods for long, powerful casts, while the refined taper design generates incredibly smooth loops which transition seamlessly from head to tip to fly. The low stretch core gives incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and provides enhanced detection of takes, more positive hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.
