I am glad you like the video and the expression - it's yours to use. It came about when we were using click drag reels and it was a good way to know you had enough energy in the cast. The stop of the line against the reel turns the line over nice. Thanks for watching the video and for the kind words.
Thank you! I am searching for a spey rod as of this writing in order to learn how to fish this method and your instructions are really clear and concise!
Thank you Floyd. Bob has helped me with my spey casting and made learning it as easy as possible. However, there have been a few occasions where it was a bit frustrating. It is a fun way to cast though. Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to ask Bob at bob@rose-creek.com. All the best, Rich Femling Rose Creek Anglers
Is there some formula about how much over hang you should be trying to cast? I’m using an 11 foot rod with a 13.5 OPST shooting head…if I use a 7.5 foot sinking head, how long should my leader/tippet be?
Thanks for the comment. Regarding overhang, it is what you are comfortable with and what works best for you in a particular fishing situation. I recommend 1-1/2 ft. to 3 ft. of overhang. I suggest a 3 - 5 ft. leader/tippet when using a 7.5 sink tip. Please let us know if you need any additional suggestions.
Bob has found that a D loop off to the side at approximately a 45 degree angle will work better with shorter lines such as SA Spey Lite or skagit heads. When using full Spey lines, Bob will make the 180 degree cast with a drift to keep the D loop up. This will be demonstrated in our next video which should be coming out in a month. Thanks for your comment.
@@rosecreekanglers262 can’t wait to see it, we always told 180 is the most efficient angle to load a rod and the 90 the less efficient loading casting angle🤔 so that 45 I can’t really fully picture or make it fit in my casting principles if caster face real conditions, from big heavy flies, wind or simply lifting longer sink tips, all this call for casting efficiency and I’m usually feel I’m “horsing the system”when my rod tip and line is farther from the 180 Thank you 🙂 Mag
Amateur trout Spey caster here. Would love to fish with you for a day, to improve my casting. My 3wt is forgiving and I can get it out well enough to present nymphs. I struggle with my 4wt tossing streamers; sometimes it works and other times, oofff
Thank you for the comment. You are not alone with having some problems with inconsistency. As mentioned in our last video, I still struggle with inconsistency. The short casting stroke makes the motion and timing critical with the spey technique. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions (phone and email is posted in the video).
snap t, perry poke, kak snake, circle spey, double spey are all a mess. all arms. The point of spey is to 1/4 turn your torso and single spey. silent, inflate your d loop.
We appreciate comments from our viewers. It has been approximately 18 months since we published this video, so we watched it again to analyze where we can make improvements in our videos. We are not sure exactly what you are saying other than we noticed that Bob made a few casts that stirred the water some. You advocated the single spey to be performed by rotating your torso and we agree with that.
love the video. "burping the reel" I love it. definitely gonna steal that from you. Thanks

Thanks guys. I have watched dozens of spey cast videos and this is right up there amongst the best.
Thanks for your comment. Bob tries to provide a few tips from observations pick up from casting all those years.
Super helpful and instructive. Thank you Bob , your video and clear explanation, saved me many hours of bad practice.
Thanks for your comment. We are glad we could provide some advice to save some time learning this cast.

Interesting👍
Don’t get the 180 part won’t work, and the 45 will?🤔
