OPST Commando Heads will do great on Spey rods but are designed for the shorter Switch rods. OPST Pure Skagit Lines will up the most experienced casters game while making beginners effective casters. However these OPST fly lines really shine when fished on single hand fly rods. They have taken the Skagit game down to micro sized rods allowing anglers to effectively Skagit cast and swing flies for everything from stream trout to smallmouth bass. These lines work on rods as short as 6' and as light as 3 weights. You can haul if you like or back cast but you don't have to. Roll cast, Skagit cast whatever. It all works with these lines.
