OPST 5’ Micro Tips — Precision Sink Tips for Lightweight and Short Rod Setups
When it comes to delicate presentations, tight quarters, and ultra-light Skagit casting, less is often more. That’s where the OPST 5’ Micro Tips shine.
Designed specifically for shorter rods and light line weights, these 40-grain dual-density tips are perfect for anglers chasing trout, bass, or other species with finesse and control in close-range situations.
Micro by Name. Mighty by Performance.
Don’t let the size fool you. These 5’ tips are built with the same Riffle, Run, and Bucket sink rate system as our larger Commando Tips — giving you depth control and versatility in compact waters.
- Riffle (S2) – For shallow water and soft current
- Run (S4) – Ideal for mid-depth swing zones
- Bucket (S6) – For deeper pockets and faster flows
Whether you're working a tight canyon stream, a small urban river, or casting in overgrown banks, OPST Micro Tips let you deliver your fly with precision and subtlety — without overpowering your rod.
