OPST Pure Skagit Rod 11'0"7WT

Rods released by OPST,
.
These rods are called "Skagit rods" or "Edward rods" if you dare to use another name for them.






The process was based on the concept of reproducing all of the specifications that Mr. Skagit himself has used and pursued in his fishing career, from the taper design of the rod to the placement of the guides and the length of the grips.

What is a single hand? What is a single hand? What is a double hand? What is a switch?
We started by clearing up such simple and primitive elements and questions, and then, instead of converting existing graphite data, we assembled the latest graphite materials to obtain data, temporarily attached guides made of the latest materials to the proto rods, and checked the action of the guides. The first step in the long process of creating this rod was to clear the various processes one by one.

As a result, it took about six years to complete the process.
As a result, it took about six long years to complete the process.

The result is a rod that is filled with his pride and dedication to creating a rod that bears his name, and his quest to pursue its practicality as a tool.


Ed Ward designed the rod himself.

This rod, designed and tested by Ed Ward himself, is unique in his life.


Ed Ward is the only person in the world to have a rod that bears his name.

Ed Ward was aware that releasing a rod that bears his name was a commitment to sharing his fishing style and approach to fishing with the world.

The most important thing that he has always advocated and pursued as a "tool" is the concept of "versatility".


One more thing to mention.

The "Sustained Anchor" is an essential element of the Skagit style and Skagit casting, and is designed to specifications that he considers most efficient.



The commercialization of this rod will also help to alleviate his constant lament that "Skagit is still misunderstood, and that steelhead are not the only type of skagit.

The new rod is so versatile that it can be used as a tool for all purposes.



When asked why he was releasing a rod with these specifications, Edward said, "I want to bring the joy of fishing to as many people as possible, without being constrained by preconceived ideas.

The Micro Skagit series not only allows "single-hand skagit" using the specified skagit head, but also allows the use of existing weight-forward line (specified number) and double-tapered line (specified number). The concept of existing single-hand rods is not only possible, but also possible. The concept of the single-hand rod was designed and developed to overturn the existing concept of a single-hand rod.
