Where was this video a year ago?! Super clear Tim. Thank you. Question - You say "skagit casting" - Is "skagit casting and "spey casting" one in the same or is there a difference?
Great question Michael, basically they are very similar. I label it Skagit casting because frankly, the term Skagit casting creates more interest. Its what people are most interested in on UA-cam. Its very popular. Skagit heads are easy to cast, so in my opinion, its a great way to start Spey Casting because you can add to your skills with longer lines and touch and go casts with Skagit as a foundation if done correctly. I personally think these casts are just as easy if not easier with a floating Scandi line. Basically the fundamentals are very similar.
They gave me one. They are legit. So I bought another one. I may beef up the clicker spring. But I like it. I’m not afraid to take it apart and tweak it up. Steve Tea reported that he bought on and it broke or came apart. My vavorite clicker reel is my orvis battenkill v but the spokes came off when I took spool off.
Master Jedi, I would ask some questions, that I wish buy the Maxcatch’s switch rods, 11ft #5 and 11ft #7, then which weight of the Maxcatch’s Skagit lines to match them? I’m thinking 350grain and 500grain, is that correct?
I think you would be in the correct ballpark although I don't have any first hand experience with those rods. Wish I could be of more help. I will do a little research and try to learn more.Thank you
Nice Tim! You really drive a good point by making it simple and then a caster can develop from there.
I agree. I think once an angler understands the concept they can fill in the gaps! Thanks buddy
excellent Tim, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
The shorter the head, the further you "throw" your mistakes. A short head does not solve all problems, and on light flies it also hurts...
You’ve never said anything nice on this channel
Thanks for watching

I'm a dummy, if I have a floating skagit line do I put on a polyleader or fish it directly to a mono leader?
You need a sink tip or polyleader and a few feet of mono tippet on that
@@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins Thanks so much.
Are the Maxcatch reels actually legit, or have you been bought off by Big Maxcatch?
