Mike Talks Scandit

In today's video, Mike Mcgovney from OPST breaks down a little-known bit of knowledge about getting more delicate with our heads; just turn them around! Coined "Scandit" by our friends over in Europe, the concept is pretty simple. For more presentation-oriented fishing situations, one must simply turn their head around, with the label end of the head attached to the running line. From there simply add a floating tip or intermediate tip to the thin end (now the front of the line) and go to work. Mike breaks it down well for us, so sit back and enjoy!

I had Steve Godshall custom make me a commando smooth with an integrated float tip. That’s been my favorite line ever since.

been doing this for years, works well with tapered sink tips

It's a good way to achieve a more smooth line by switching it over. I'm from Sweden Scandinavia 🇸🇪 I fish the commando 400gr and a 12' intermediate tip is a good combo... And by have the fat part as but make it shoot better as it flying backwards! Why a skagit line is so fat in front is so it can turn over T-tips... And that's the reason why Ed did what he did.... And just carry one line and 5 tips this open up for even more combinations. But backwards it fit best whit float to sink3. Over that go fat end forward! Best regards from Scandinavia Sweden 🇸🇪
