Overview

The Perfect Line For Roll And Single Handed Spey Casts With Low-Stretch, Ultra-Slick Performance

The Single Handed Spey line has been designed to be a fantastic tool for anglers that prefer/need to perform roll and single-handed Spey casts. The rear weight distribution loads a rod deeply in the tightest of quarters, allowing anglers to make long, effortless casts with obstacles close behind. Though primarily designed for roll casting, this line also performs exceptionally easy overhead casts with incredibly smooth loop control. Each line is built on RIO's low stretch ConnectCore Plus for maximum performance, and features SlickCast— the slickest, most durable coating on the market.

There are 2 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:

- A Full Floating line (F), for top water action

- A Floating Line with 10ft of Hover sinking line, then 10ft of Intermediate sinking line at the front (F/H/I), for fishing in the top 2-4 ft

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 50 reviews.

Reviews

Old School versatility in new age line technology.

"Single-hand ‘Spey’ ? It’s much more than that. A great all around line for trout nymphing to greased-line steelheading (as long as those fish continue to exist !). Exceptional ‘feel’ of the line during casting, as well as once it hits the water and mends like a champ."

— Mark C. (5/5)

Performs Nicely

"As a CI and MCI candidate, I'm particular about how a line performs, and this one is a wonderful line to cast. I don't love how it feels when overhead casting, but when it comes to roll casting and various single-handed spey casts, I really enjoy casting this line."

— Stew (5/5)

Great line

"Really fun line - ideal fro single handed spey and roll casting with enough belly to be able to mend effectively. Also quite capable as an overhead line as well."

— James M. (5/5)

Easier to cast and allows

"Easier to cast and allows better fly presentation"

8wt Float

"I was using this line on my 10' R8 Core. The line cast very well, both overhead and roll/single-hand spey. Unfortunately the casing on the shooting line section frayed very quickly. As in two days of fishing. I was fishing the East Alsek River, in Dry Bay Alaska last week for silvers. I know that the sandy banks and river bed are abrasive but, the section of line that frayed had very minimal, if any direct contact. I've fished other lines there without issue, always taking time to thoroughly rinse the line/reels after each day of fishing. I rated this line BAD for this specific circumstance as I haven't fished it in friendlier environments. I probably won't buy another, knowing that there are other lines on the market that hold up better/longer."

— Doug M. (2/5)

Good line

"I like it, but doesn't seem to work as intended. Other than that it's a good line."

Excellent multi purpose line!

"Fantastic line - single spey, overhead, roll cast, it does it all very well!"

— Lawrence S. (5/5)

Awesome line!

"Awesome line! I bought the 4wt single handed spey line with the integrated sink tip to use with wet flies and streamers on my local trout waters. Casts like a dream and deliverers my flies at the right depth. My first day out I caught a 21" 3. 75lbs Rainbow on a well presented wooly bugger. If your thinking about a single handed spey setup this is the line to use!"
