Airflo Superflo Max Rage Compact is a fantastic, purpose built spey head. It is a shortened, more powerful Scandi head. The Rage was born on the Deschutes River to solve two problems. Scandi lines do not cast well in wind, and they are limited by fly size. But they are so fun to cast and to fish! The Rage helps solve this. Anglers can use touch and go style casts (Scandi/Underhand) without sacrificing fishing effectiveness. The Rage casts well in the wind and it turns over a larger range of flies than a traditional Scandi line. It was designed for summer steelhead fishing but also meets the needs of the modern Trout Spey angler.

While an expert caster can use the Rage to cast something like T8 or heavier we recommend to fish it as a replacement for a Scandi head. For tips use dry lines or polyleader type sink tips. For casting use touch and go style casts ( Scandi, underhand, whatever you want to call it). It does not Skagit cast well.

Airflo Fly lines, including the Rage, have been re-released in 2025 with brand new Superflo Max technology. This allows them to cast better, float better and fish better. All Airflo Spey heads are PVC free, feature durable power loops, are built on an ultra supple coating and low stretch braid. The black colored loop will always attach to the running/shooting line.
