Steve Rajeff: Three Styles of Spey Casting

 


Master tournament caster Steve Rajeff demonstrates the three most common styles of spey casting, including traditional greased-line, Scandanavian, and Skagit.

Excerpt: "Over a hundred and fifty years ago in Scotland, there was a style developed just called traditional 'spey casting.' It's where we use a fixed line — perhaps 80, 90 or 100 feet long — and you lock it down and maintain that distance. You pick up the line, making a tremendous D loop behind, and cast out, changing direction."
