Quick-swap Spey sink tips to match depth, speed, and water type — without re-rigging.
If you’re building a practical Spey kit, MOW tips are one of the best ways to increase coverage and reduce downtime.
Description
RIO Skagit MOW Tips are made for anglers who like to fine-tune a Skagit swing without rebuilding the whole setup. When the run is deeper than expected, the current speed changes, or you need a different sink rate for your fly, swapping a tip is the fastest way to adjust. Loop-to-loop connections make changes quick, and carrying a small selection of tips lets you cover more water effectively during the same session.
Use MOW Tips to control two things that matter most in swung-fly fishing: how deep your fly travels and how fast it moves across the current. The right tip can slow the swing, get under surface push, and keep the fly in the strike zone longer. It is a simple system that pays off immediately once you start matching tip choice to the run in front of you.
These tips allow anglers using Skagit lines to cover every likely fishing situation and conditions encountered, and are the absolute ultimate in sinking tip versatility. All InTouch MOW tips are built on RIO’s ConnectCore for ultra-low stretch performance.

Why MOW tips work so well
- Fast changes, consistent rigging: Loop-to-loop swaps let you change depth quickly while keeping your system clean and repeatable.
- Presentation control: Different tip styles help you slow the swing, speed it up, or keep the fly tracking at the depth the run demands.
