Max Short heads are for anglers using shorter spey rods (sub 13 feet), switch rods or single-hand rods or when in tight casting situations. With all of the same features and color assets as the Skagit Max, the Max Short heads range between 17 feet and 20 feet in length and are available from 200 grains through 625 grains in 25 grain increments.
RIO’s Skagit iShort Shooting Head is a powerful intermediate head with a short floating back section that gives anglers deep, slow swings. It is designed for shorter spey rods (sub 13 feet), switch rods and single-handed rods and is targeted specifically to anglers casting large flies and fast sinking tips. The new iShort is available from 350 grains to 575 grains in 25 grain increments and varies between 18 feet and 21 feet in length depending on the size. The iShort has a clear camo intermediate section that is seamlessly integrated in to a pale orange floating section.
