Rio Skagit Spey Lines

NEW!

The Skagit Spey is a revolutionary new line designed for the Skagit-style spey casting. This casting technique requires a line with a very short, 27 ft (8.3 m), heavy head that will propel heavy sink tips and big flies great distances with a very short casting stroke.

Skagit casting is easy for novice or experienced casters to learn. For casting the Skagit Spey, the total head length and weight must be matched to the rod. The total head length including the sink tip should be no more than 3 – 3 1/2 times the length of the rod. To adjust for rod length and loading, simply add a 5 ft or 10 ft Skagit Cheater to achieve the desired load and length. The RIO 15 ft sinking tips or T14 may be used to achieve the desired depth.

The Skagit Spey features RIO’s welded loop for fast tip changes and is also available as a full floating line with a 44 ft (13.4 m) head to cast bombers and weighted flies for summer steelhead. The head is green with a yellow running line for optimum casting control.
