Master Spey Casting with Double Handed Scandi Fly Lines

Spey casting is a truly rewarding technique that unlocks a whole new world of possibilities for anglers fishing for salmon, sea trout, and powerful freshwater predators. And a key component to Spey casting success is the right double handed Scandi fly line.

What are Double Handed Scandi Fly Lines?

Double handed Scandi fly lines are designed specifically for use with two-handed Spey rods. Unlike single-handed fly lines, they feature a longer head length for enhanced casting performance. Scandi lines, in particular, boast a unique taper profile. They have a short, powerful front taper that transitions smoothly into a thinner running line. This design excels at delivering flies at short to medium distances with exceptional accuracy and superb turnover, even in windy conditions.

Benefits of Double Handed Scandi Fly Lines

• Effortless Spey Casting: The short, powerful front taper of Scandi lines loads Spey rods efficiently, allowing for smooth Spey casts with less effort. This translates to less fatigue on long fishing days and more time enjoying the thrill of the cast.
• Superior Line Control: The thin running line minimises friction as it shoots through the guides, offering exceptional line control during the cast and retrieve. This is especially beneficial when fishing for spooky fish in clear waters.
• Presentation Perfection: The smooth taper of Scandi lines promotes a natural, drag-free drift of your flies, making them irresistible to predatory fish.
• Versatility Across Waters: Whether you’re tackling rolling rivers, still waters, or battling strong winds on the coast, Scandi lines offer the versatility to adapt to various fishing conditions.

Choosing the Right Double Handed Scandi Fly Line

With a variety of Scandi lines available, selecting the perfect one for your needs comes down to a few key factors:

• Rod Weight: Match the line weight of your double-handed Spey rod to ensure optimal casting performance.
• Sink Rate: Choose from floating lines for shallow presentations, intermediate lines for subsurface exploration, or sinking lines for reaching deeper depths.
• Fishing Conditions: Consider the size of the flies you’ll be casting, the wind strength you typically encounter, and the distance you need to achieve effective drifts.
