Great explanation!!!!!! Simon does such a god job breaking these concepts down to an easy to understand level. I’m also really enjoying Simon’s new second edition Single-Handed Spey Casting!
Very well done Simon. I use all of the techniques and lines you demoed here. One rule I try to always follow when long casting. No more than 3 false cast, I usually do 1 or 2 then cast. Enjoyed your discussion very well done, thank you for sharing.
Thanks as always Rio! Simon will forget more about flyfishing..than many will ever know.😂 I almost always learn something from every video he does, and I really appreciate it! 👍👍🎣
Thanks very much Simon. I wish that I watched this a few years ago. I like your presentations as they are clear, concise and I don’t feel like a goose!
I have a 9’ 7wt single hand rod with a mod fast action. I was going to by an outbound shirt or coastal quick shot for surf casting perch and also still water streamer fishing. They didn’t have any outbound short lines so the shop hooked me up with an outbound head and gripshooter line. This seems more like a Spey set up than a single hand set up, but I’m hoping it works out. I’m excited to give it a try.
I always learn something from Simon’s instructional videos. However I would like to ask about shooting line on the back cast as an additional method of gaining distance on the cast. Yes or no? Thanks.
We asked Simon his thoughts, and he said that if the line has a long enough head, like a DT, then shooting line on the back cast is an excellent way to get distance quicker. Hope that helps...
I agree with everyone else - terrific demos and thorough explanations on almost everything. But I'm trying to figure out how the Rio Slick Shooter can be used to my advantage on Euro nymph fishing systems. Is it simply a super smooth replacement for mono rig set-ups? Perhaps a video solely on the Rio Slick Shooter would be an idea for you.
@@RIOPRODUCTS Oh great, but I hope the video comes out soon because I just ordered a Slick Shooter and I don't even know why I need it or how to use it!!
OutBound Short is simply awesome fly line and my favourite along floating Single Handed Spey. OutBound Short might not be the most accurate one, but very easily gives a lot of distance when needed. Couple tight hauls and fly line just flies through rod rings. And also gives impression that I am much better caster than I really am.
Sir: could you kindly explain why with a 30' head length like the Outbound Short "you can only have 30' of line outside the rod and shoot"? Why not have more line out when released? Thank you
You can have more line out of your rod, but here we're focused on shooting line for distance. Ideally you'd just went the head out of your rod tip in order to shoot line for distance. If you can carry more line and cast further with your running line out, then that's great!!!
I’m using 30 pound Hydrofloat ! 40# would be better but P-line doesn’t make it. But it works and you get 150 yds for 12$ that’s 4 refills at 112 feet of running line 🎣
We only make one applicable shooting head, John, it is the OutBound Short shooting head. The design of the head is such that you do not need to step up a line size, so put a #8 head on your #8 rod.
Hi Simon thank's for the reply, l've been looking on line for a supplier for the out bound shooting head but can't find any l can find it some in America but it cost $25 for postage do you know of anybody who sells it in the UK
Try our UK distributor directly - they would know who carries the heads in the UK, and if nobody does, they could special order one for you, and get it added to their next shipment. We'd suggest you email David Billbrough (david@guideflyfishing.co.uk). Hope that helps.
Great instructor and voice for Rio products ..
Thanks JC, we're glad you liked the video

Yes Simon is the best at teaching us about fly fishing info.
Really great video. I could listen to Simon for hours and hours haha
He has a good presentation skill, we'd agree with that!

Thanks for your comments Randy, we'll pass those on to Simon. Glad you enjoyed the film, and always appreciate your feedback.

Thanks Charlie. Simon says he has forgotten a lot!
Great delivery Simon, as always. Thank you.
Thanks Iban - glad you like it...

How does a goose feel? LOL
Love these videos: simply put, well illustrated, and delightfully presented♥️

Another video of yours saved for future reference. I'd go out and practice now but it's only up to -8°F, now. I'm a wimp in my old age. Thanks.
Thanks Keith, we appreciate you letting us know. Hopefully it will warm up soon for you!
Great video, I am going to try a double taper line on my spare 5wt. I was thinking about DT lines all wrong, I thought of them as all running line.
Glad we could help. Let us know what you think!

When i put a new line on, I like to pull it behind the boat for a few miles to work out any twist

We're also big fans.
Can the cold water Rio Outbound Short line be used in tropical water? The tropical water outbound short is very expensive for me.
no, unfortunately the line won't perform in the tropical environment. It's coating won't hold up in the heat.

Excellent explanations. I need to work on my double haul for sure.
Good luck with that!
Great
If I’m using a floating shooting head, can I use the slick shooter? Is the SS a floating shooting line?
You can use the Slick Shooter, it is floating!
I’m using 30 pound Hydrofloat !
40# would be better but P-line doesn’t make it. But it works and you get 150 yds for 12$ that’s 4 refills at 112 feet of running line 🎣
Hi Simon can you tell me what is the best Rio shooting head for a 8 weight single handed rod
We only make one applicable shooting head, John, it is the OutBound Short shooting head. The design of the head is such that you do not need to step up a line size, so put a #8 head on your #8 rod.
@@RIOPRODUCTS Thank that's great

Keep save and all the best John
ONLY NEEDED TO SEE TANGLED mono LINE WILL KEEP RIO RUNNING LINE
Accelerate to a stop
The prices you charge are appalling esp in the UK bloody rip off.
Don’t forget import taxes to the government + 20% vat as well as shops mark up.
