Mike, Scott O'Donnell and Ed Ward are way into short heads on small two handed rods.
Their focus is effortless casting with the smallest two handed rods what will deliver the flies.
Mike and his team worked closely with Rio in the development of the new Skagit Short lines.
Mike also likes around 10' tips on the short heads. Factory sink-tips are 15' so we will have to do some shortening.
It was a beautiful day and lots of new hot info......Thanks Mike
**Mike's favorite rod right now is the 12'6" #5 Sage Z-Axis.
