How To Cast Double Handed Rods (ft. Antti Guttorm)

[@stevetadin]

Antti is the best at teaching and explaining (with passion) the how's and why's of spey casting. Not a bad fisherman too!!

[@infinity251214]

I'm a beginner and have watched many spey videos but I've learnt the most from Antti's video! Antti breaks down more of the set up, stroke in an easy to follow video. Many thanks!!

[@easer777]

If I ever learn fly fishing/-casting, this guy is the one who made it happen, thanks Antti and Vision....

[@kubaz8702]

This is the best instructional I have ever watched. PLEASE MORE VIDEOS ON SPEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been a fan for a very long time. Thanks to you, I have picked up spey rods and now pretty much all I use.

[@everythingflytv507]

Most definitely agree with you.

[@donfoley1590]

I agree totally. The best for sure

[@coralinemartinsen7590]

Thank you Antti! I have been flyfishing for 50 odd years and finally this year I invested in two double hand rods. Your video is by far the best I have seen. The way you break down each part of the cast and the way you describe each sement is brilliant! Big fan and thank you!!! Can`t wait for warmer weather.....

[@thymallusaurus]

I got a two hand rod in november, and have spent all winter trying to get a grip of the basics of the two hand Scandi style cast. This guy in a 18 min video manage to show in the most beautiful way all of the aspects of both Scandi and Scagic style casting. It´s so perfect I can´t even start to explain how much I have learned. And it´s for free!

[@andybryson5061]

Anti is great to listen to and gets the point over very well. Great teacher.

[@bwouaite]

Three years later and I stumble on this by chance. I wish I had found it sooner. Thank you for this and the didactics. These are 18 precious minutes indeed. Cheers from Quebec!

[@antoniopaes7286]

I’m new to Spey and I’d say that there is no better video on KZbin to understand spay casting as this one. Thank you very much for providing such a good content !🙏

[@johnshand6176]

The best instructional video I have ever watched. Thanks from down-under in NZ.

[@АлександрКороль-я5щ]

How is it in New Zealand ? I heard good fishing for salmon ?

[@easer777]

Agree....!!!

[@decoydavesmith]

This guy could teach anyone !! He's like the Terminator of spey casting !

[@ericbjorkstedt272]

Another commenter noted how excellent this is as an intro and tutorial to two handed rods. I concur heartily. Very helpful as I’ve taken up this form of fly fishing! Remarkable attention to details that matter. I watch before every trip to refresh my memory … and after to sort out where I was making my mistakes.

[@bryanmorgan6217]

Probably the best tutorial I have ever seen

[@gljanicki]

I was hearing your voice when I was on the river practicing , you explained this perfectly thank you so much

[@MrRhythmeen]

As a beginner this is the best video tutorial I have found. Thanx!

[@christianchmielewski3233]

Hi Antti, very good video. I like it very much that you do not talk so much and explain theoretically like many others. You explain what you have in mind and execute it. Most others explain and talk too much. That does not help me. Thanks and greetings from Germany Christian

[@station1964]

Just started fly fishing and have been doing a lot of research and this is the best casting video I’ve found by miles. Thank you!

[@live-fishing]

A few years ago I had a chance to get a lesson from Antti - he is the best! His tipps still help me for my casting. The video is probably one of the best instruction videos for double-handed casting. Congratulation!

[@atjohnson4831]

This is by far the best explanation out there. Really well presented too, thanks for the effort!

[@alexanderpearcedavis5674]

Really helpful video concise and simplified breaking down some of the most important casts.Thank you for taking the time to make this a great reference for any level angler. It has personally helped me become a better caster.

[@Jaimelapoesie]

This is the best spey casting instruction on YT. Believe me, I've seen them all...

[@christerryden1563]

Antti, excellent demonstration.

[@druaRNF]

Great tutor and a well shot video supported by very clear and useful instructions indeed. Thank you very much from the west coast of Ireland.

[@stasmaksimov9531]

Antti is a true spey guru! Great lesson! 👍👍👍

[@bjrgebrathagen562]

Best video ever!!! Perfect camra angel and good sound, and of coure a very good instructor. Saw this video at the river bank when practising. After 2-3 hours i was fishing and shooting line at good distance👍

[@luftgewhrschutz7099]

Good explanation, no mystery or technical jargon very clear .

[@skipclement7307]

I just acquired an R B Meiser 9'9" (909 - switch rod) rod and the last part of this video was a game the changer - "managing the line." Thanks

[@MR-ev4cj]

Thank you very much for the video and the detailed explanations and illustrations. I am a beginner and am thinking about buying a switch rod. So far I have only had one-handed rods. But for sea trout fishing the Spey technique is probably more effective. I am watching the video from Germany.

[@freddygo44]

Easiest video to follow on KZbin! Thanks

[@waltervancleave6495]

Has this man had a raise lately? He is the best instructor of all. Think you.

[@bcnzoutdoorsco465]

Very concise instruction. Cheers from British Columbia!

[@gcdenkers]

Good and easy to follow instructions. Thank you Antti. 👍

[@duanebryant4797]

Excellent presentation! Learned a lot! I will probably review this many times.

[@Diyanulimaan]

Dear Antti, I must admit it is one of the best videos explaining how to use a double-handed rod for beginners. I was able to replicate some of it after some practice but I still am confused what is the exact difference between roll cast, and switch cast? They both look somewhat similar to me. In Spey cast, we have some extra tricks ' snap T, etc ' which directly distinguish it from the roll cast, but I am still in a dilemma when it comes to Roll cast and Switch cast. It would be thoughtful of you to explain the difference between the two in a bit more detail. Anyways, thank you !! for your wonderful videos.

[@ricardo1570]

thanks to sharing with us your video

[@catalinureche448]

Thanks mate, looks really cool to fish with a DH rod. Barely wait to test it myself. Thanks!

[@gulamhoosendocrat7091]

Brilliant ! Absolutely BRILLIANT !!!!

[@ArktikosAdventures]

[@andresuter5532]

Great instructor!

[@cachi-7878]

Wow! So happy to have found this video. Just perfect- to the point, clear and concise, no BS. Enough repeated casting to grasp the concept. Very helpful. Where are you filming this?

[@hihihaha1987]

Hello, thank you for that video, it will me help a lot, I buyd me an #10 2h and had always problems with casting, now ita much better. Enjoy to see more of your videos and tips! Greetings from Germany

[@joachimmergeay]

absolutely great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

[@DuncanPepper]

Really good Antti. There are a few wee points that I'd change. 1st point is the terminology you use. Let's take the Double Spey for an example, though the same terms can be applied to the Circle C, Z Spey or Snap T. Part 1. Lift, 2. Lay, 3. Sweep, 4. Delivery. The one word terms keeps it more memorable for the students. For the Switch cast, or the Jump roll as I call it I say part 1 Lift, part 2 Sweep to kiss and part 3 Go. I like the kiss and go terms, this tends to stick well in students' heads. Lift sweep kiss go. For the Single Spey I use the same words. I would swap out the Snap T and replace it with the Circle C. They are similar casts but my experience is the Circle C is less dangerous for beginners. In the Snap T you use that fast movement to lay the anchor, but with the Cricle C you can really take your time with it, and, as a result of i) the speed and ii) the distance between rod and fly during the lay they are less likely to hit the fly against the rod or themselves. I'm sure you've watched beginners bounce the yarn or (much worse) fly off the rod while trying to do the lay on the Snap T. Get them doing the Circle C and it just stops. I learnt something for you that I'm going to adopt - biggest loop of running line under the pinky, smaller under the ring etc. I've been putting three strips under each finger for years. Thanks for that.

[@wachimmm]

Very good Teatcher!

[@waltervancleave6495]

Wow! I think I can do that with you as my instructor. Think you and your teaching skills. God bless and keep your videos coming.

[@donald2100]

Happy New Year ! and very well done sir good stuff ,please make more with attention to ska git and different grain shooting heads for 6/7 weight steelhead rods . Thanks from California !

[@markkelly4983]

Fantastic video thanks. Can you give me any advice on how I stop pushing the cast with my right hand and start to focus on maximising all the benefits of what the left hand does for the cast? Best regards from Scotland.👍

[@kevinihintz]

Excellent mate 👍👍👍

[@bts1111]

Thank you for sharing your techniques! Great video...keep them coming please.

[@zachcharlot5026]

Good teacher.

[@steveevans424]

SUGGESTION: In USA the beginners usually start with a shorter heavier Skagit type line to help load the rod and give more feel- feedback to the caster....Great Video....cheers

[@rudigerhahn9331]

Cool, I like this Video very much - easy to learn, remains the practice- Not easy. Thank you for this excellent video.

Can you use these for pike fishing?

[@archiebob11]

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Nice vid, nice Spot!!!

[@Salmomaniak]

Thank you Antti :-)

[@FlyRiderFishing]

Antti is my man crush!!! 🎣😍

[@jimholland1592]

Wow! You made this so simple to me the light just came on. I want a two hand rod for trout and bass. I fish a large rivers in Georgia the Chattahoochee and Sweet Water Creek. Any info would be appreciated👍

[@christianrihm8863]

Nice Video ! Keep going on .

[@Jesse-cy7ws]

Please help with the single Spey. Using a Scandi line I struggle with tailing loops. End up snap t-ing and double Spey-ing. Want to learn single Spey.

[@pantseilmari8151]

Sensei!

[@jeromedmr2688]

Hi Antti, thank you for your explanations. What reel do you use?

[@magicsteve5523]

Two Handed increased to 100

[@everythingflytv507]

LMFAO

[@miguelgoizueta7103]

How much line you retrieve to make your cast?

[@potetskrellmpc498]

Which rod weight are you using in this video?

[@matiasacosta429]

Hi! im have Vision 8/9 Catapult 31g 12,2´, what line do you recommend? I am currently using scandy airflo 460grains floating. The minimum allowed by the fly rod, is this correct?

[@gtchasingsilver]

Hello from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, another great video Antti. Am new to salmon fishing, really struggling 🎣🙈. What would you suggest is the best running line to use for beginners ?

[@angussoutter7824]

Floating line as i get’s a wee bit more difficult using sinking lines

[@easer777]

KZbin definitely need some videos on how to overhand cast two handed, all there is to find is spey, which is great if You have streaming water and swing the fly, but not so much if You for instance fish in the salt, where maximum distance and lots of stripping is the name of the game....;- ) - While a lot can be transferred from one handed overhead casting, there IS some differences, I'll think, both in technique and in options/possibilities....? Additionally, I would also love to have some tips on casting sinking line two handed overhand, I'm struggling a bit, to a point of me thinking that I should have bought a floating line. - However, I'm usually fishing off a pier, often in rather deep water (5-7 meter), so I do need to get down there....
