Unleash Spey Casting Power with Double-Handed Skagit Fly Lines

Spey casting demands not just skill, but the right equipment. That’s why we only offer carefully selected double-handed Skagit fly lines, designed to maximise your power and control when tackling large rivers and hard-fighting salmon, sea trout, and steelhead.

Double-Handed Domination: What are Skagit Fly Lines?

Unlike traditional fly lines for single-handed fly rods, double-handed Skagit lines are built specifically for use with longer, two-handed Spey rods. These lines boast a unique design with a heavy head concentration towards the front, perfect for Spey casting techniques in tight situations and challenging weather. This concentrated weight allows you to effortlessly turn over large flies and heavy sink tips, in windy conditions and across expansive rivers.

Benefits of Skagit Fly Lines

• Enhanced Spey Casting Performance: The heavy head weight distribution loads double-handed rods quickly, allowing you to achieve greater line control and distance in the cast, even in tight situations.
• Turn Over Large Flies with Ease: Skagit lines are built to handle hefty flies and tips, ideal for enticing trophy fish in strong currents.
• Penetrate Deep Waters: Choose from a variety of sinking Skagit lines to reach fish holding deep in the water column, perfect for salmon and steelhead fishing in colder conditions.
• Versatility for Different Conditions: We offer Skagit lines in various densities, from floating for more benign summer weather to extra-fast sinking for targeting salmon in the early Spring or late Autumn.

Choosing the Right Skagit Line for Your Needs

Selecting the perfect Skagit line depends on several factors, including your Spey rod line weight rating, casting style, target species, and fishing conditions. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Rod Weight: Always key! Match the Skagit line weight to your double-handed Spey rod lime rating for optimal performance.
• Target Species & Depth: Consider the fish you’re targeting and the water depth. Floating lines are perfect for summer fishing, while fast-sinking lines reach salmon less keen to come up and take the fly in colder water conditions.
• Water Conditions: Factor in wind, current strength, and water temperature. Heavier Skagit lines offer better control in challenging conditions.
