Long Belly Spey Lines
Hi folks,
So I’m trying to track down an XLT but this might be impossible. What long belly Spey lines do people recommend nowadays? What lines are being used in the 15’ WCs?
Anything highly recommended from SA or RÍO?
Thanks,
Paul

You're serious aren't you.

XLT went out of production like 15 years ago mate
Long belly spey lines , the rio longhead spey, the ballistic vector and gaelforce 63 ft head are all good and made by Rio btw.
For competition, gaelforce EED 80 foot is the most used line, lots of similar ones around too, or make your own head
Looking forward to beating you in that event too at the WC
Cheers
Lasse

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685
Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts

Yep I’ve just emailed Simon. I hope you won’t be wearing girly waders for this event.

Re: Long Belly Spey Lines
I think speedos would be more sporting attire.

Just one question remains… tweed or camouflage?
