Can You fish without sinking tips with a skagit head, because I got a spey rod designed for skagit style of fly line, but I don't really fish with sink tip,
Mike, What length rod are you fishing with in this vid? I'm trying to learn as much as I can about skagit style as I think it fits well in the GL region. With a Skagit head your body english seems a bit slower than it would be with more traditional spey gear. Will you be doing any of the Spey Claves or Gatherings out here in the Midwest anytime soon?
@bill7920 Hi Bill that rod is the 13i/2 7-8 Meiser MKS actually My body speed and style are very similar with almost all types of lines, just different stroke lengths. I am not scheduled for anything out there but you never know. MK
This video is fantastic Mike. I have heard a lot about you from others in the northwest fly-fishing world. I am trying to learn spey casting and this video is very helpful. Thank you!
Hi bert I would like to help but I have never cast that particular rod it is not one of my designs..That being said the designation is for a Scandi line that means that it was designed to cast off the tip which might be 100 grains lighter.I would contact Tfo directly for recomendations. MK
