On another thread a few of us are discussing the development of spey lines. I thought it would be useful to create a new thread on the subject.
Here's my take on the developement of lines that have had a significant impact (created a great deal of excitement/shaped the way we approached casting and fishing and/or were highly influential on line design) on the spey community, the order that they appeared, and the country of development:
1. DT lines (UK)
2. Alexander Grant's lines (UK)
3. modern long belly DT lines (UK)
4. shooting heads cut from DT lines (Goran Andersson/Scandinavia)
5. Michael Evans Specialist Speycaster (UK)
6. Mastery Spey (US)
7. Wulff Triangle Taper (US)
8. Windcutter/Acccelerator (US)
9. MidSpey (US)
10. XLT (US)
11. Jetstream & Partridge (UK)
12. Skagit (US)
Let the debate begin!
