Vision Ace skagit

Sorry for my long brake... I'll explain later... I have been using the new Vision Ace skagit heads a lot this season and thought I'd write some sort of review about them. The heads are white in color with heavy duty loops at both ends. There's also a print at the front loop that tells you the grain weight of the head. Vision sells them with a ready looped T-14 tip that's matched to the head. The heads were designed by a group of two handed fly fisherman that I respect a lot: Antti Guttorm, Mattias Drugge and Tuomas Rytkönen. I really dig your style and casting gents! Tapering on these heads is pretty standard modern skagit head stuff, but I really like the way they engineered the front tapering. It gives you a smooth, but powerful turnover. Just the way I like it!! Actually the front tapering is so nice that this line has become my favorite head for intermediate and sink 2/3 tips and smaller tubes/doubles. The straight, no kinks turnover makes it nicer to use
