Scientific Anglers Spey Lines

Steelhead are Pacific Northwest Icons. The anglers who pursue them are some of the most passionate in the world. Some steelhead anglers spend over a hundred days a year on the water. Around here most of these dedicated anglers use two handed fly rods...the majority of the time. An angler who spends this amount of time on the water will encounter many different water and weather conditions. Steelhead rivers have a wide range of personalities. Several types of Spey lines may be used throughout the year to maximize your chances when coping with changes of river sizes, fish sizes and fly sizes, as well as changes in water temperatures and wind

velocities. That is why Scientific Anglers makes three different Spey lines; to help you cope with these and many more changes.

Mastery Spey Skagit Deluxe Line
This line evolved on the winter steelhead rivers of the Pacific Northwest, where casting large flies long distance with little back-cast room is common. The Mastery Spey Skagit Deluxe was first showed to us by Steve Choate, while fishing for winter steelhead on the Sandy River. Steve is one of the most talented long distance Spey casters in the Pacific Northwest, and he showed us how to fish areas of the river that had never been probed with a fly before. His ability to cover water that was beyond everyone else's reach really got our attention. The Mastery Spey Skagit Deluxe is technically a changeable-tip shooting head which comes with four tips. You must add a shooting line to

complete the system. We suggest GuideLine Shooter as a perfect option. "Skagit style lines" and "Skagit style casting" are fairly new concepts; first becoming popular in the mid-1990's. As such, equipment and techniques are still evolving. The Mastery Spey Skagit Deluxe is newest "Skagit style line" to hit the market. It offers some features worth your attention. First the finish is silky smooth, and the loops are very streamlined and in-line with the rest of the line for smooth passage through the rod guides. The heads are heavy and designed to bend a rod deep for maximum power. The taper is designed to work at all ranges, especially long ranges.

Mastery Spey Shorthead Multi Tip Line
This changeable-tip Spey line has all the features that steelheaders and salmon fishers want for presenting their flies to the best advantage in a wide range of circumstances. It features a short-head configuration that casts smoothly at all distances. Both small and large flies can be used, and they can be presented at all levels in the water by simply changing the line tips and angle of presentation. The loop to loop connections are super smooth as is the fly line coating overall. The compact compound tapered head allows easier turnover for longer casts. The rear taper and running line work together to reduce friction and tangles.
