Rio's Skagit Max GameChanger takes your two-handed rod up a level. Combined with a shooting line and sink tip, this head is practically unstoppable. It features Multi-Density Control which uses three different density coating to ensure seamless transitions while casting, and Extreme Slickness technology which helps it flow through guides smoothly. Its ConnectCore minimizes stretch and memory, so it is sensitive and responsive whether you're casting or setting the hook.

Took this line for a swim in the OP this March. Honestly I didn't like it. But I think I might have it paired with all the wrong partners. The mono running line I put with it does not work well and my old sage v2t is a finicky bastard. I also stuck a 10ft T14 head on it. I think with a shorter section of t14 it would work better with the intermediate tip. Anyway, didn't love it but too many variables to know if it was me or the line. Will keep trying.
