Skagit, or sorta' Skagit head

[Salmo_g]

I need something along the lines of a 450 gr Skagit head that is 30 feet long or so. Ideally it would be a "beer can" with no taper. So the less taper, the better. I cast a 510 gr Air Flo Rage on another rod, and it handled tips quite well. I have a few Scandi heads in the 450 to low 500 gr weights, but the front taper is too fine to cast a 15' Rio Versa Tip without me putting a huge effort into it.

I looked for a 450 gr Rage, but apparently they have been discontinued, so no luck there. Is there something in the market place that I'm just not seeing, or do I need to look at my collection of longer, heavier heads and cut one down to 450 grains?

I think Bridge makes what you want but I forget what they call it.

Long skagit head can only mean one thing - you've got a long rod.
