Why Scandi Lines are so Easy to Cast

[@sebastianvasque9341]

Wow. Prime example of how large grain windows are on two-handed rods. Powerful casts. I know you have other videos on the Airflo Rage, but that’s a better scandi style line for the wind and it carries moderate sink tips as well. Cheers!

And you can attach a tip - I use Guideline 4D tips in 15 or 18 feet depending on line/rod/fly/mood. It's great in calmer conditions but will work in windier conditions. Just change line/tip weight accordingly. Experiment!

Love to see a video with a very light trout spey scan set up

[@christiancherry1377]

Yes, Tim! I prefer Scandi if I can. Great tips as always. I use the Loop SDS and Guideline ULS systems a lot. Have you tried these? You are the man for straight talk on this. I owe you a cold one when I see you!

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

I think Guideline and Loop are on the cutting edge of Scandi heads because they are died in the wool underhand guys! So I think you are on the right track. I have not used these systems but so would love to give the a go! Looking forward to that cold one brother!

Thanks man good job I'm from Argentina you can come here a fishing for golden fish or trout in the Patagonia

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Wow! Thank you! I may have to take you up on that!

[@MrGreegor69]

I used Rio ssvt for years & still do but moved to LTS short speedline heads with 12ft Hardy rocket tips on my Loop rods & they absolutely fly.

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Great tip! Thanks 🙏

How's that maxcatch reel still holding up?

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Still love it 😍

I can't get a good anchor with scandi and so I can't load my rod as well.

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

I get that! Sometimes it takes a long leader. That’s why Scandi guys are famous for using 17 to 25’ leaders!

[@Zanzabar5]

@@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins I also feel like if you wait before shooting you blow the anchor. With scagit you kinda have to pause for the anchor to line up but scandi lines up faster and so you have to shoot sooner. Does that sound right?

Here comes the sweds words ! Scandi lines is basic the short word for Scandinavian style line... From start we cut a half DT line that's how this strated back the 70s Goran Andersson is the man who did this. I fish them always as my basic line ! I use skagit lines sure... But our scandi RTG 3D or the new 4D do all the job skagit lines do just choose the right weight for the need. And if like cast as skagit. Calculate and do not count the tip that be the same amount of grain if its proper done. If we like fish deep that line go way deeper then skagit normally do. So all comes to what river and the need. I fish big salmon flys whit scandi heads Guide Line are my favourite of brand the taper is so good ! They have a power series and one more regular... Best regards from Sweden Scandinavia 🇸🇪

Spid tu usi SCANDI e lo uso pure io , ma tutto il mese di giugno e una buona parte di liglio uso guideline D 3 S 135 e pure nextcast 40 redi too go F S 4 S 6 non sono precisamente SCANDI. Un commento grazie

[@mttrout1969]

What are your thoughts on the Rage head Jedi? I have had great luck fishing them in stout winds on the D.

[@brookmelee5983]

If you are a good caster, you can cast scandis in the wind.

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Gonna make a video about it!

[@todmiller2254]

Good comments. 100 degrees down here on the Rogue. Waiting for the cool down and the fish

[@brookmelee5983]

Good on you for giving them a break. Headed your way late Sept.

[@placidosilva9773]

O love scandi body ❤

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

Me too

[@Sunray-Scumbag]

I just received my Rio scandi short versitip for my guideline nt11 12ft 9 inch 8/9wt. Gonna head down the river and try it out! Coming from trout Spey a 550gr head system seems crazy but real excited to try a big boy rod and line!

[@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins]

How is it?

[@Sunray-Scumbag]

@@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins it's good! I changed it up though. I prefer a slightly shorter head and so have now gone for the guideline 4d compact multi tip in 590gr. It's a bit heavier than the rating for the rod but as the rod is a stiff scandi rod I feel this slightly heavier line compliments it wonderfully. I was blasting out huge casts with very little room behind me. Both touch and go and skagit style. It's a wonderful rod and line. Setup Guideline nt11 12ft 9" 8/9wt 6pcs Danielson f3w reel (forget size) Airflo ridge 2.0 running line Guideline 4d compact multi tip 590gr (comes in at 29.5ft with body and tip) Absolute cannon.
