Rio in touch fly line review3/5/2023 With a single handed rod, you feel directly connected to the fish you feel all the movements, jumps, etc. It dulls the connection to the fish, and takes the “risk” out of the fight. But I find that most often I don’t catch large fish, but nice fish, and fighting them with a large double handed rod becomes a kind of forgone conclusion. Even then, Lee Wulff offers a compelling counter-example of how one can effectively fight and land large fish on small rods. While fighting a fish with a double handed rod is more effective in some situations, this is most often true of only the large fish on large water. I would suggest learning how to Spey cast with a single-handed rod is better first step than jumping right to a big double handed rod. For many people, single handed rods are more familiar - they’re what we grew up with. To begin, while Spey casting with a large double handed rod can be effective at throwing long casts over big water, it’s only as effective as the person is proficient at the cast. So why not try single-handed spey casting? The advantages of single handed spey castingĪfter Spey casting for a number of years, I’ve come to believe that single-handed Spey casting offers some distinct advantages. For instance, Spey casting can be done by both single and double-handed rods (maybe even Tenkara, probably, but I haven’t tried!), in both fresh and salt-water environments, in still and moving water, with the full gamut of line weights and sink rates. Given the origins of Spey casting, this of course makes sense, but it neglects the notion that “Spey casting” does not describe a kind of rod, but a highly-versatile casting style. When people think of Spey casting, they think first of double-handed rods. After using it this season it is, without question, my favorite line for not only chasing but actually catching Atlantic salmon. What is the best line for Atlantic salmon? I think I now have the answer - RIO’s new InTouch Single Handed Spey Line 3D.
