Scientific Anglers Skagit Tip Kit

The Scientific Anglers Skagit Tips Kit is the ultimate all-in-one system for anglers who want to be prepared for any depth, flow, or presentation scenario on the river. Instead of piecing together individual tips over time, this kit delivers the full lineup—floating, intermediate, and multiple sinking densities—neatly organized in a compact leader wallet. Whether you’re swinging flies for salmon at moderate depths or dredging deep runs for winter steel, you’ll have every tip you need with the SA Skagit Tip Kit.

As versatile as it is easy to work with, each tip is tapered for smooth energy transfer and reliable turnover--being able to seamlessly swap between sink rates means less time re-rigging and more time fishing effectively. It’s a complete, ready-to-fish system that takes the guesswork out of matching conditions, making it a must-have for dedicated Spey and Skagit anglers.

 

Features

AST (Advanced Shooting Technology) - SA's AST tech provides a slick, low-friction surface that not only improves line shootability but also resists grime and wear, meaning your tips continue performing smoothly through long seasons on the water.

Shooting Texture - Scientific Anglers' Shooting Texture delivers a subtle surface texturing that reduces drag in and out of the guides, making it easier to pick up even heavy sinking tips and launch them back out with minimal effort. This improves efficiency and reduces effort over a full day of casting.

Welded Loops on both ends create durable, low-profile connections that allow for quick changes between tips while maintaining strong, reliable junctions with Skagit heads and leaders—no need for knots or trimming, just loop and go.

SA Line ID -  When it comes to chasing tough anadromous fish, it’s important to remove every bit of error you can, and Scientific Anglers’ Line ID makes it easy to always grab the right tip. A quick identifier, SA Line ID is an integrated marking system in the first 1’-2’ of the tip section that ensures you won’t grab the floating tip when you needed the sink 7.

 

Uses

Two-Hand Applications, Streamers, Wet Flies, Salmon/Steelhead Flies - Ideal for swinging flies for steelhead, salmon, trout, and other anadromous species. These tips let anglers adapt quickly to different depths, flow speeds, or fly sizes by swapping densities rather than full heads—perfect for travel or versatile river systems.

 

Temp

Cold to Medium Water Temps - Designed to stay supple and responsive in cold rivers while holding performance in moderate weather conditions or when out chasing Skamania steel in warmer temps.

Taper/Weight

More Mass Towards the Front of the Head - Tapered, density-compensated tips available in multiple grain weights: 80 gr (8’) / 120 gr (10’) / 150 gr (12’). Each tip is buiilt to enhance turnover and fly control across a range of depths, while the short overall length ensures smooth integration with Skagit heads.
