Spey Lines


WindCutter Spey Line
A spey line with a short, easy loading 54' head.  It is by far the best choice of line for beginners and those learning to spey cast.  It's great for the shorter spey rods (from 11-12'6"), as a line with a longer head will be far more difficult to manage.
WWF - 5/6F, 6/7/8F, 7/8/9F, 8/9/10F, 9/10/11F, 10/11/12F, 11/12/13F
Length: 115 - 130ft

WindCutter Interchangeable Tip Spey Line
This is the same profile and taper as the WindCutter Spey line, but with two floating and 5 sinking tips for a multi-purpose, multi-application spey line.  The complete design includes the shooting line and body with stiff, non-hinging loops, a 15ft middle tip section with two loops (Tip 2) and a 15ft front floating tip (Tip 1).  The 15ft sinking tips included are: Clear AquaLux Intermediate tip (1.5ips),  and the following Density Compensated tips: Type 3 (3ips), Type 6 (6ips), Type 8 (8ips).  Included this year the new sink Tip Compensator Tip, an Intermediate Tip 2.
Length: 115-130ft

MidSpey Fly Line
Has a 65' head and is designed for the spey caster who has mastered the basic techniques and is looking for a line that will help improve both casting and fishing prowess.  The head is long enough to mend and control precisely the way the fly fishes, though short enough to load the spey rod easily.  The head length is perfect for those mid length spey rods from 13-14'.

MidSpey Interchangeable Tip Spey Line
The complete design includes the shooting line and body with stiff non-hinging loops, a 15ft middle tip section with 2 loops (Tip 2) and a 15ft front floating tip (Tip 1) for light fly presentation.  The 15ft sinking tips included are: AquaLux Intermediate Tip (1.5ips), Type 3 (3ips), Type 6 (6ips), Type 8 (8ips); types 3-8 are density compensated.  Included this year the new Sink Tip Compensator Tip, an intermediate tip 2.  Simply replace the floating Tip 2 with this new tip when fishing the 15ft sink tips to get better depth control.  The  line also includes a shooting head wallet to store tips.

WindCutter Upgrade
For spey casters who use the WindCutter (or MidSpey) interchangeable tip spey lines and desire a spey line with a longer head.  The 30ft Upgrade replaces the middle section (Tip 2) of the WindCutter or MidSpey Tips line and lengthens the line by an extra 15ft.  Ensure that the fat end of the Upgrade attaches to the body and the relevant front tip attaches to the thinner end.  Available in:
6/7/8, 7/8/9, 8/9/10, 9/10/11, 10/11/12.

Sink Tip Compensator
The most useful addition to our interchangeable tip spey lines.  This compensator replaces Tip 2 of the interchangeable spey tip lines and helps keep the sink tips deep.  This is an intermediate sink section that ensures the fly stays down.  All the interchangeable tip WindCutter and MidSpey lines come with this tip as a standard.  Available in #7-#12
Price: $
 
15ft Type 8 Tip
RIO's newest tip!  A Type 8 (8-9ips) gets the fly down fast.  This tip is included as standard in all new interchangeable tip spey lines but may also be purchased separately.
