In an effort to refine our 8wt Pure Skagit rod, we discovered a new graphite blend with an undeniable “wow” factor. From that discovery, the SHS Pure Skagit generation was born. Featuring a crisper action and updated graphite technology, these rods still carry the action originally approved by Ed Ward. With a new down-locking reel seat and components, plus a glossy cleared blank and premium cork, this rod stands apart. We retained REC Cericoil guides to enhance flex and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/buy-a-reel-get-a-line-promo\"\u003eFREE LINE PROMO\u003c\/a\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003e Free fly line up to $100 value.

Developed over several years, these rods reflect refined tapers built around Ed’s concepts. The lineup includes rods ranging from a 9'9\" 3wt to an 11'6\" 8wt (excluding 6wt), and is divided into two categories: MS (hybrid trout spey\/single hand) and SHS (modern switch\/short spey). These rods represent decades of dedication to sustained-anchor two-handed casting and embody Ed’s original vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSHS Skagit Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e11' 7wt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for smaller steelhead\/salmon, large trout, and bass streamers.
