I’ve have a couple of them; I was just waiting to see what ever one thought of them. They remind me of the lines we made back in the mid 90’s at Skagit Anglers, little back taper and level belly section.

Haven’t played enough with them to say any thing about them, went to Canada when I first received them and the guys at that Spey Clave like them (they didn’t have them yet in Canada). They are easy casting, that’s all I say now.

Here is the Dia. of the 550 grain line.

Looks like your the only one with them right now, saw a post on another board to be careful when first using the skagit lines as you my over load your sped rod, and well snap/crack it like I have done once.

I am waiting for more information right now I can cast effectively the spey lines I have.
