You are the type of angler that everyone wants to go out with. Knowledgeable, helpful and willing to share. Thank you so much for posting, I really enjoyed it. Wes
Thank you for the kind words. We wanted to make this video especially for anglers that might be having some difficulty making consistent underhand casts.
Hi Bob, Just found your video on Scandi Casting. I found it to be very informative and the different angle shots Made it a lot easier to follow.. Hopefully by watching you I can improve my casting technique… Thank you very much……Best wishes @ Tight Lines… 👍👍👍
I hired Matt Jordan years ago and he taught me how to speycast on the Brule River. I was a former indicator fisher:( Now I only swing flies! 2 years ago Matt showed underhand casting at the spey clave and it elevated my casting to the next level. Last spring I got to fish with Matt and we both caught some nice steelhead and I noticed he never once hit a tree or snagged the brush on the bank. You should contact Matt for some of your videos!

@@rosecreekanglers262 indeed I have worked through many frustrating days videoing myself trying to figure my errs. I’ve been at this game for many years and love my journey
Thank you Bob. I appreciate your detailed explanation and repetition of the cast. Please tell us about setup, Rod length, length of Scandi head grain weight, leader etc
Thanks for watching our video. We are glad you like it. The rod is a 11 ft. 7wt. switch rod with a 480 grain scandi line. The leader is 15 ft long. Please let me know if you would like any additional information. Tight lines.
Thanks for your comment. I am glad you asked about Scandi leaders because Bob and I filmed a segment on this topic and we are editing it now. Watch for our next video. Thanks again.
Great video Bob. In using a scandi line like a Rio Scandi Versitip which has four 15 ft. tips floating thruogh a fast sink to add to the scandi head, is it your recomendation to not use the included 15 ft. floating tip but rather substitute this with a 15ft or longer leader as Klaus Frimor apears to use? If so when wouldyou use the flating tip included in the Versitip set?
Thanks for watching our video and for your comment. After reviewing the specifications of the Scandi Versitip system, which is recommended for rod lengths of 13 ft. or more (Versitip Short for shorter rods), I would use the 15 ft. tip and a 15 ft. leader when using the floating tip. Much shorter leaders when using the sinking tips. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks for the comment Tim. As a videographer, it has been a blast working on these videos with Bob. In this video in particular, I wanted to use much of the instruction Bob provided for me in order to mitigate my struggles with this casting technique. I enjoy watching your videos and have picked up some great advice from those videos as well. Best, Rich
Thanks for your question. I used a 11 ft. St. Croix Imperial switch rod. I am not sure what they rate the flex rate at, but it feels pretty much like a medium action rod.

Thank you for the kind words. We wanted to make this video especially for anglers that might be having some difficulty making consistent underhand casts.
Simply the best instructional video on scandi I’ve seen. Love the varied camera angles. Maybe I can now get my Beulah switch to talk!
Thank you for the kind words and we are glad to hear you gained some helpful instruction. Have some fun casting your Beulah switch rod.
Hi Bob,

Thank you very much……Best wishes @ Tight Lines… 👍👍👍
Thank you for your comment. Bob and I try to improve our instruction technique on each of our videos. We are glad we were able to help your casting.
Thank you. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the lesson. Invaluable.
Thank you for your comment. We are glad that you found our video to be helpful.
Very helpful, thank you Bob. As a long liner, this translates to my 15 and 16 foot rods with 60 and 90 foot heads. Bottom hand!
We are glad you found it helpful. I am also a long liners, but probably have more short lines. Did you hear about the guy that.....?

That's a delightful story. Thanks for sharing it and for the kind words. Swinging flies on the Brule rocks.
Great video Bob, many thanks from here in Scotland
I appreciate the comment. It is humbling to me to get a thank you from someone where Spey casting was originated.
Looks like you’re enjoying yourself to the max. I can identify with you. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the comment! We're glad you can identify with the pleasure of working through some frustration and then getting things working correctly.

The rod is a 11 ft. 7wt. switch rod with a 480 grain scandi line. The leader is 15 ft long. Please let me know if you would like any additional information. Tight lines.
Good stuff, Bob!👍🏼👏🏼
Thanks a lot Dan. I'm glad you like it.
Thanks for the video! What about the long cast of the Scandi and the ratio of the length of the line and the leader?
Thanks for your comment. I am glad you asked about Scandi leaders because Bob and I filmed a segment on this topic and we are editing it now. Watch for our next video. Thanks again.
If you were asking about the line and leader in the video, it was a 480 grain - 32' long Scandi line with a 17' leader.

I am going to use it as an example
Thank you, we appreciate it.
fun video! Really thought the the overhead view was a great shot. You did forget to say, get off my grass. Other than that, cool video.

Hi!
Do you use a fullflex 2-H rod in the video?
Thanks for your question. I used a 11 ft. St. Croix Imperial switch rod. I am not sure what they rate the flex rate at, but it feels pretty much like a medium action rod.
