Hi. Nice film and well explained. I’ve been fly fishing for many years and recently bought a new fly rod. I used to overline my old fly rods (9’ #7 single handers) with one line weight for wf lines to get the proper feel. 18 grams for the single handed shooting heads. Worked like a charm. However, regarding the new fly rod (Greys GR80 9’6 #7 and GR80 Salt 9’ #7) I’m not so sure that overlining is a good idea. I’ve heard comments that 18 grams shooting head is a couple of grams too light for a #7 “to let the rod do the work…”. Any tips on how to choose the right line weight…? I like to “feel the line” to a certain degree

Good job mate! Definitely giving one of these a go, great design!

Sounds amazing , what weights are available and where can you buy them , i am writing this half way through your vid , all the best , David.

Cant wait to try these Jack! I reckon its a brilliant idea. I bet it works well with big heavy flies too! Ill be getting one.

Is lines available?

Hi Jack, what head lengths are you going to be producing? I currently use OPST's Commando smooth lines on some of my shorter 10'-12'ft rods when fishing smaller spate rivers, i would be interested to have a look at your lines.

I had a scientific anglers textured line. It made an awful racket shooting it. I stopped using it as a result.

The stretch in the line has lost me more than a couple of fish. Very interested in your line .

WOW , when/where can you buy these lines ,what weights and prices are they , looks very interesting , you cast that line with positive ease , all the best , David.

another top vid jack nice to se some innovation none stretch lines have improved all forms of fishing in resent years looking forward to trying your lines on the lightning fast grilse

Biggest issue for me is most running lines are just too supple and dont have enough rigidity if that makes sense? If you're handling a lot of loops of running line in decent flowing water there is a real tendency for twists in the flowing loops and the consequent tangles on the way out. Best running line ive found whether integrated or separate is Gaelforce, in running water its got to be Stoft mono in 50lb but its fails badly in back eddies or slow flows. Be interested in trying your lines though. Thanks for the video...

Great product! Here, in North America many of us fish 150feet running line, 20 foot skagit head and 10 foot sink tip for a 7/8 weight 500+ grain. If you can make a fully integrated line to those specs!!! You have a whole new market.

Have to say congrats and a big thanks for making these lines, with fewer salmon about these days you want to have your fly on point each time…. Can’t wait to try them out…. Do you know when the rods will be on sale? Cheers stiofain

Hi Jack great looking line with all these attributes, but myself being primarily a Salmon angler, if I used this line since there is no stretch (I usually strike off the reel with the present lines I use) I’d need to have a yard or so of a loop trapped between the butt section & my trigger finger to allow the fish to take & turn otherwise from my own experience you wouldn’t be able to get a good hook set, but I’m very interested to see your range of lines when you have them available…tight lines…..

Nice vid thank you , saw 9 cormorants in a group yesterday on my local stretch of the Trent, EYES ROLL, all the best David.

Great video. Does that reverse casting work with two flies, or is the line speed too fast ?

another top vid looking forward to trying the new rod looks a nice action

btw After watching this video I went down the river and did exactly this and caught a nice grayling, looked at her in the net and let her go, no need for pics but great to put the method into practice.

Another lovely video excellent 👌👍

I do #2 and #3 but I’m currently out of stock! I’m using the finesse #3 in the video. More on the way! 2mm tungsten bead. I like the weight but tungsten smaller diameter beads! Cheers

Nice fish Is there a reason you don't do a 3wt to match your rod ? What size bead was on your size 16 fly please ?

What size is your rod and what fly line are you use? Thank you

🤝

Nice vid will defo give your style of nymphing a go . Where about where you fishing.. Cheers Mike

Nice video Jack

Nice to see you on the river , all three that I fish are in spate with melt water . Can you confirm if were using one or two nymphs and what was the bead size and I only ask as I was sure you said 2mm but a glimpse of one looked like 3 or 4 mm.

Line looks smooth

Very nice to watch , i must have a go on the Derwent , the river has dropped and its warming up here a bit , all the best ,David.

I am trying to contact you by email and you have not answered for an order I made. Please, if you see this message, reply.

Horses for causes , nicely done . Thank you for showing .

Thant's the cast i try to emulate , probably not so smooth as yours , great to see it .All the best , David.

Looks like a nice balanced line. When will you have the 4wt available?

Have you got the 9# line in yet for a 11ft 9# switch rod .👍

looking at your lines on your site I use a 9ft 5wt. use midges, dries and streamers would the presentation line or finesse line be better thanks. have only been fly fishing about 3 months. Tight Lines!

What is load of shit nothing to watch

A joy to watch , you have an incredible calm personality that comes over on your vids, keep em coming , all the best David.

Do you make 2wt wf lines or even dt thanks

Sorry to hear of your accident , you look to be doing ok now, i agree with you ,ego is a big thing in every form of angling these days , got to have several photos of fish to put on line etc so everyone sees where your fishing and the hoards appear , bugs me no end , keep it to yourself and move on ,yes keep them in the net as long as possible ,mostly the memory of catching and remembering the day is what its all about for me , i enjoy the casting too, though i am not that good , and yes i do not catch that many SHOCK HORROR , hope you continue to enjoy your fishing days , keep your vids coming , all the best ,David.

How are you connecting your level tippet to your fly line ? Received your line today, Looking forward to using it.

The way you show the cast with lots of repetition really helps to see each step , i personally need to see casts carried out loads of time to get it into my head, EYES ROLL, so thank you for that and keep the vids coming , much appreciated , all the best ,David. PS do you think that line would cast ok on older rods , as i do not have any new ones .

Excellent vid ,as you mention very negative on some of the fly forums ,do not bother myself just do my own thing method wise and enjoy myself, all the best ,David.

Would like to have seen a close up of your nymph but nice video once again, can't fish my rivers in mid wales as still running far too high.

Found your videos recently. Very clear info that I am looking forward to using. Have subscribed and looking forwrd to trying the 5wt line.

Excellent stuff, love the adaptability of your method here 👍

Great to see a KZbinr showing some joy when catching fish Jack. Stumbled across your videos this morning and am now a subscriber. Many thanks for the entertainment. Please keep them coming.

Top video, good advice .thanks

Can you put me down for one mate, or on the list at least. Thanks

Would this be good for coastal sea trout or do you have other lines that specialize in coastal? Cheers

another well thought out fly line locking forward to seeing it in action on the still waters should be good for casting all day

Got a love a skagit, it's my favourite gadget 😅. Looks good jacko
