FAQs

What is the difference between Medium and Heavy tips?

Medium tips (T11) sink at 8 inches per second, and are for lighter heads. Heavy tips (T14) sink at 9 inches per second and are for heavier heads. Choose the tip based on the weight of your Skagit head and the fishing conditions.

How do I choose the right tip for my Skagit head?

Use Medium tips for Skagit heads under 575 grains and Heavy tips for Skagit heads over 575 grains.

How do I care for my RIO Skagit iMOW 10ft Tips?

Rinse the tips with fresh water after each use. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Can I use these tips with any fly rod?

Ensure your rod is rated for the Skagit head and tip weight you are using.

What if my tip gets damaged?

Inspect your tips regularly. Replace them if you notice any damage or wear to maintain optimal performance.

Are these tips suitable for beginners?

While the tips themselves are user-friendly, experience with Skagit casting techniques is recommended for optimal performance.
