RIO Elite Skagit Gamechanger Body

The Skagit Gamechanger is a little bit longer than the Skagit Pickpocket and suits longer rods well. Same principle in design, which helps slow down your swing and get you below the pesky conflicting surface currents we often face while swinging with a full floating Skagit head. In addition, the benefits by design, of the Multi Density Control system translates into fewer blown anchors, straighter, slower, more controlled swings.

Skagit fishing: Is all about managing depth and tension. The Elite Skagit GameChanger Body uses multi-density transitions to eliminate the “hinge” you feel with a flat-floating head and a heavy sink tip, so your anchor sets cleaner and your fly tracks truer. Pair it with your favorite Skagit tips (T-material or multi-density) and a running line to build a modular system that covers soft inside seams to deep winter buckets—no line swap needed.

Why We Like It: Multi-density control = fewer blown anchors, straighter swings, and easier depth tuning across conditions without re-rigging the whole system.
