OPST Commando Tips — Dial in Depth for Perfect Swing Presentations
Fish Smarter. Swing Deeper. Stay in the Zone.
One of the most overlooked — yet most critical — aspects of successful fly fishing is depth control. With OPST’s 10ft Commando Tips, you gain the power to precisely control your presentation and get your fly in front of the fish, whether they’re holding shallow, mid-depth, or deep.
Designed specifically for swinging flies to steelhead, salmon, and large trout, Commando Tips bring unmatched versatility and balance to your Skagit setup. Not every run calls for a heavy, fast-sinking tip. Sometimes the fish are in shallower water — especially during high flows or transitional seasons — and that’s where a nuanced approach to sink rate is essential.
Choose Your Depth: Riffle, Run, or Bucket
Within each grain weight class, OPST offers three calibrated sink rates to match the conditions:
Riffle Tip – For shallow water, gentle riffles, or runs with light current
Run Tip – The perfect middle ground for standard swing depths
Bucket Tip – For deep slots, heavy flows, or big water presentations
