Overview
The Scientific Anglers Skagit Tip 8' is designed for anglers who prefer a shorter, more compact tip for quicker turnover and tighter casting situations. At
8 feet in length, these tips provide
excellent control when fishing in smaller rivers or when space is limited, making them a versatile option for both
switch and
Spey setups. The shorter profile delivers fast load and recovery, helping anglers turn over
bulky streamers,
weighted flies, and
sink tips with ease. Offered in a full range of sink rates — from Float for surface or dry presentations,
Sink 1–Sink 2 for shallow runs,
Sink 2–Sink 4 for mid-depth coverage, and deeper options like
Sink 5 and Sink 7 — the
Skagit Tip 8' allows anglers to cover multiple water levels with confidence.
Each tip is finished in water-matching colors such as
Moss,
Pale Green/Green,
Green/Dark Green,
Brown, and
Black for stealth and subtle visibility.
Rugged and
dependable, these shorter tips are perfect for targeting
salmon,
steelhead, and other strong species in tight water conditions.
