The result is Lazar Line, a line with so little memory you will forget you're fishing mono. With a low, calculated stretch, Lazar Line ties extremely sleek and strong knots. It comes in 25, 20, 35, 40 and 50 pound test.

OPST 40lb Lazar Running Line Pink

OPST Pure Skagit Lazar Line epitomizes everything people love about monofilament running lines: slickness, easy shooting, and thinness. 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. 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

• Exceptional durability
• Consistent performance in hot and cold conditions
• No permanent memory at any temperature
• High visibility
• Ties beautiful knots
• Calculated stretch- high knot strength

OPST Commando Head 175grain

Ideal rod: 4wt 7'6" to 9'0"

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. Another thing we love about Commando Heads on single hand rods is that they can be cast in a variety of different ways. Skagit casting is the most common method employed, but if your Skagit casting starts to suffer, you can overhead cast them. Or, you can single spey or snake roll with Commando Heads. This variety of casting possibilities makes for a more interesting day on the water, and it allows you to switch up styles if you're not happy with the way you're casting.

For single or double hand fly rods, the Commando Head is revolutionary. Above else, its popularity stems from one fact: it's easy to cast! Try it for yourself, and take your fishing enjoyment to the next level.

OPST Commando Smooth 225 gr.

The original OPST Commando Head changed the game for trout spey and single hand Skagit tactics. But for streamer, dry fly and nymph fishing, where you often fish at close range and strip flies right up to the rod tip, we knew we could improve it.

Enter the Commando Smooth—a Commando Head and a thin, slick coated running line integrated into one with a smooth, gradual taper. No longer will you feel a bump as the running line/Commando Head junction enters the guides. You won't feel anything at all, except a jarring strike as a fish attacks your streamer.

We listened to the requests of numerous Commando Head fans, and created a line that fishes even better than the original. The running line is orange to provide a nice contrast against the Sauk Blue head. If you are looking for a line that can do almost anything, experience the Commando Smooth. It's just like the wildly popular Commando Head. Only smoother. Length: 100 feet. Head weights: 150gr thru 400gr grains.

OPST Micros Skagit 4wt 10'0" V2 Full Wells

A True Illustration of Ed Ward’s Vision

Olympic Peninsula Skagit Tactics is proud to release our second generation of Two-Handed Rods. We developed these new rods over several years during which we refined the taper to represent Ed’s concepts. We were on a quest to beef up our 8wt rod, and we found a graphite that would enhance our entire line-up! It will initially include seven rods in total, ranging from a 9’9” two-handed 3wt up to an 11’6” 8wt, and every rod weight in-between except 6wt. This line-up will be classified by design differences and divided into two categories: MS (almost a hybrid between trout spey and single hand rods) and SHS rods (more in line with contemporary switch rods/Short Spey rods). The rods represent decades of dedication purely to sustained-anchor two-handed casting. A rod reflects its designer, and these rods are a true illustration of Ed’s vision.

10' 4wt.- The most popular option in the micro series. Perfect all around trout and bass rod. Enough sensitivity to have fun with those smaller fish, but also packing enough power for decent distance with those mid-sized streamers(mini-articulates/ect.) 

• Almost fits in as Single Hand/Trout Spey Hybrids. 
• Mini Full Wells Upper Grips All New High End Cork
• Switch Style Lower Grips New Down Locking Reel Seat
• Medium/Fast Action
• REC Recoil Guides w/ Ceramic Inserts
• Ultra Short Lengths Facilitate Compact Casting and More Sensitivity Than Traditional Trout Speys.  
• This Series Also Delivers Overhead Casts Surprisingly Well. (We normally like to overline each rod by one overhand line size. For example, 5wt. overhead line matches well with an OPST 4wt.)

OPST Micro Skagit D² 8FT Tips 2 Ft. Float / 6 Ft. Sink

Micro Skagit D² (Dual Density) Tips (sink/float) are built with the OPST 3WT-5WT Micro Skagit series, 5wt and up single-hand rods, and Trout Spey Rods in mind.  When Ed Ward talks, one should listen, and we did.  Being one of the original creators of the MOW tip, he saw a need for a lighter, dual-density option for customers chasing trout, bass, and other smaller species, and we met that need!  The specs will be 8 feet long. One is 8ft full sink, one is 6ft sink/2ft float, and the final one is half and half 4ft sink/4ft float, to cover most on-the-water needs. These tips will give you a different angle of attack in the water than our density-compensated tip options and are a Must Have tool for the toolbox on the water.
