Even better, it lacks memory, the main drawback common in mono. If you like to make a cast and then kick back and enjoy the scenery while your running line is streaming out, maybe taking a bite of your sandwich as you achieve more distance than ever before, Lazar Line is for you. This ultra-thin, extremely slick running line will shock you with how little memory it has. We still laugh when we take strips of line off of our reels because we can't believe how good it is, even after years of use. A new spool will have some memory, but if you stretch the line and, even better, pull it through your fingers, you will see that memory disappears. Lazar Line is a low-stretch monofilament, and thanks to that and to its thin diameter, it ties neat and strong knots. We have tested it in both hot and cold conditions and have found it outstanding at any temperature. In cold conditions, initial line stretching will be necessary, but performance will\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent performance in hot and cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo permanent memory at any temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh visibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTies beautiful knots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalculated stretch- high knot strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OPST","offers":[{"title":"30 LB \/ Green","offer_id":41735086112933,"sku":"10023416","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 LB \/ Pink","offer_id":42451835289765,"sku":"854093007077","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"35 LB \/ Green","offer_id":41735086178469,"sku":"852500007023","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"35 LB \/ Pink","offer_id":42451835224229,"sku":"854093007084","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 LB \/ Green","offer_id":41735086080165,"sku":"852500007030","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 LB \/ Pink","offer_id":42451835355301,"sku":"854093007091","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 LB \/ Green","offer_id":41735086145701,"sku":"852500007047","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 LB \/ Pink","offer_id":42451835158693,"sku":"854093007107","price":44.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/3312\/1189\/products\/OPST-Pure-Skagit-Lazar-Line_a7d73878-ac9e-456b-a98e-f74c9acfc7bf.jpg?v=1670557741"},{"product_id":"opst-commando-head","title":"OPST Micro and Pure Skagit Commando Head","description":"\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOPST Commando Heads — The Ultimate Skagit Line for Single and Two-Handed Rods\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn from decades of innovation in Sustained Anchor Systemology (SAS) by legendary Skagit pioneer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEd Ward\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOPST’s Commando Heads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e are not just lines — they’re a revolution in fly fishing performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCast Anywhere.

Rod load is generated through water tension and maintained throughout the stroke. The Commando Head's short length and thickness makes it ideal for this style of casting. Coming in grain weights of 150-475, in increments of 25 grains, Commando Skagit Heads match with everything from 7'6\" 3-weights to 14' 9-weights. OPST has taken Skagit-style fishing, optimized it for steelhead and salmon, and brought it to the world of trout and bass. Skagit tactics have traditionally been associated with two-handed fishing for salmon and steelhead, but OPST's Commando Skagit Heads, in their lighter grain weights, are short enough to excel on single hand fly rods.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--15630200701164__16376477764a019943\" class=\"shopify-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"head_sec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"commando_container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"system_inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"head_system \"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"system_1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"system_content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe regularly fish them on rods as short as 7'6\". And if you have a 9 foot 5-weight, you owe it to yourself to test it out with a 200 grain Commando Head. Or try a 275 grain on your 8-weight. The Commando Head turns your single hand rod into a slingshot, a technical streamer presentation tool that you can cast almost anywhere since a Skagit cast, especially a single hand one, requires almost no back cast space. One of the major advantages of a Commando Head is that it allows you to fish big flies on relatively light rods. What this means is that you no longer need to fish a 6 or 7 weight to fish streamers. You will be surprised by the size of fly you can fish on a 4-weight with a Commando Head—size 2 streamers are no problem. We all know that 10 inch trout far outnumber 20 inchers, so in fishing a Commando with a light rod, you are able to enjoy every trout–not just the big ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCommando Head Lengths\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150-175 grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200-275 grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5’\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300-375 grain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15’\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400-425 grain.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5’\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e450-475 grain.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OPST","offers":[{"title":"150gr","offer_id":42451806748837,"sku":"852500007054","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"175gr","offer_id":42451806781605,"sku":"852500007061","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200gr","offer_id":42451806814373,"sku":"852500007078","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"225gr","offer_id":42451806847141,"sku":"852500007085","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250gr","offer_id":42451806879909,"sku":"852500007092","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"275gr","offer_id":42451806912677,"sku":"852500007108","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300gr","offer_id":42451806945445,"sku":"852500007115","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"325gr","offer_id":42451806978213,"sku":"852500007122","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"350gr","offer_id":42451807010981,"sku":"852500007139","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"375gr","offer_id":42451807043749,"sku":"852500007146","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"400gr","offer_id":42451807076517,"sku":"852500007153","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"425gr","offer_id":42451807109285,"sku":"852500007160","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"450gr","offer_id":42451807142053,"sku":"852500007177","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"475gr","offer_id":42451807174821,"sku":"852500007184","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/3312\/1189\/products\/Commando-21.png?v=1689804043"},{"product_id":"opst-commando-smooth-integrated-1","title":"OPST Commando Smooth Integrated","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe original OPST Commando Head changed the game for trout spey and single hand Skagit tactics.
