After a lot of pleading and pleasing, tinkering and testing we have finally completed manufacture of our new Skagit Spey lines. The lines have just come off the manufacturing run and are packaged and ready to be shipped out to dealers this week.
To those that don't know, Skagit casting is a style of spey casting that utilizes special short and heavy spey lines with fast sinking tips to easily load a rod. Skagit casting encompasses a minimal amount of effort by using a very short and compact casting stroke and is perfect for casting in really tight quarters.
The Skagit lines have only a 27ft head with a welded loop to which you attach a 15 ft sink tip (or a length of T14). These lines come in four sizes: 450 grain (7/8), 550 grains (8/9), 650 grains (9/10) and 750 grains (10/11). This weight and the unique taper design makes this about the easiest way to make a spey cast.
The lines will retail initially for $75.
Unfortunatley I am away on the road for the next week or so. Anyone who would like more info on the Skagit lines, or even Skagit casting, contact Zack Dalton here at Rio ([email protected]).
Cheers
