I used the i-Flight Skagit head most of last winter and spring after being a fan of the earlier full float version of the Flight Skagit. Now I enthusiastically endorse the i-Flight.

My experience...

Blueracer, I tried to respond to your PM but your box is full and the system would not let me post a reply. Please contact me at brian_endlich@hotmail.com

Best to contact me via email address in Ad.

Have not yet dialed in all the lines appropriate for the 6115, I would guess that it should be able to handle the NextCast FF 45 in a 5/6, but if your experience tells you that the FF 5/6 rocks the...

After several years of campaigning by Calif spey fishers for lighter rods for the Trinity and other CA rivers, Kerry and the Burkheimer gang have designed two new 6 wts.
