    Meet the Trout Spey rod designed specifically for small streams and short casting. This lightweight Micro Skagit two-hander is incredibly responsive, highly efficient, and works like a total dream. With expertly-designed componentry and an incredibly lightweight blank, this is a rod for the angler who spends all day chasing trout in the fall, spring, and summer.

    I’m totally in love with my 5wt opst microskagit rod, it’s such a pleasure to cast.
    Perfect tool for Australian estuary fishing.

    Great review! Thanks. How do you think the OPST 3wt compares to the lighter 1wt/2wt Sage rods?

      Super fun rod. Hope you get plenty of use out of it this year!

    Ben, Thanks for another great review! Did you ever sort out what Scandi line pairs up with this rod? I am specifically thinking of using it for wet flies. Merry Christmas

    I have the 4wt with a 210 grain SA Skagit Lite. Casts occasionally collapse on themselves. I'd try not to exceed the grain window. Been fishing it for about a year.

    How would this rod fare with casting indicator rigs (two nymphs+ splitshot+ indicator) on small to medium sized rivers.

    Can you compare the pieroway renegade to the opst micro skagit line or have any comments?

    • @Tridentflyfishing
      @Tridentflyfishing  Před 2 lety

      Haven't tried the Pieroway Renegade but can personally vouch for the OPST. Very fun rod

    I want to see someone fish with this. I want it bad but between a pulse sage or this with my opst 175 grain headsetup.

      The Micro Skagit is such a fun rod, and the build quality is top notch, too. Try it out!

    The commando style line was actually introduced in the 60s. Just saying.

    What reel are you using?

      Most of our rod tests are done with a Lamson Liquid.

      @@Tridentflyfishing The reason I asked this question is I am about to. purchase this in a 4 weight and will be using Lazar (mono) running line. There doesn't seem to be a fly reel suitable for micro spey rods utilizing mono running line, i.e. a full frame reel in the appropriate weight.
