Jock Scott over a century ago wrote of Greased Line fishing as performed by A.H.E. Wood to present a fly broadside to Salmon to entice the salmon to strike. This TRADITIONAL form of spey casting maintains a relatively fixed line length of 65-100 feet allowing you to cover water without retrieving or lengthening line on each cast; keeping you less tired and more focused on your prize. These powerful designs use the full bend of the rod, flexing through the mid-section when fully loaded. The ROARINGRIVER GREASED LINE SERIES of two-hand rods offer the ultimate combination of power and grace in a rod and provide you perfect swing speed and fly control. For spey casts from 50 to 150' the RoaringRiver Greased Line two-hand rod series will truly allow you to fish the water "Fine and Far off."

To address the TRADITIONAL style of two-hand casting, our field experts have helped to define the ROARINGRIVER GREASED LINE RODS; nine rods ranging from a 14' #8-9 wt to a 17'#10/11 wt. Designed to cast long belly floating lines using a long casting stroke, this traditional form of spey casting maintains a fixed line of 65 to 100 feet. They allow you to cover water without retrieving or lengthening line on each cast; keeping you less tired and more focused on the prize. These powerful designs use the full bend of the rod, flexing through the mid-section when fully loaded.

So you want to fish another beat, but your gillie is off having a dram somewhere? No problem, stay where you are, just string up your 17 foot #10/11 GLX Greased Line rod, and make a cast from there.17 foot, GLX and a #10/11, it speaks for itself. It can cast into the backing at will, if you like. Change of direction is effortless, as you can pick a tremendous length. Too big? Not necessarily, as the big rod makes distance so effortless it offsets the need to bash lesser rods, and so you may find you are less fatigued after a session. It loads down below mid point of rod at 90 feet, to provide the caster with a comfortable feel, and sense of control. This is only the starting point for this rod. Do not be suprised if you wish your line had a bit more length. For big rivers, big fish, big flies and a grand time, try a 17' GLX.
