In this LOOP Akademi lesson, Al Peake breaks down the iconic single Spey cast.
Developed on Scotland's river Spey in the 1800s to help cast a considerable distance with limited space behind you, the single Spey technique relies on a long length of line, landing an anchor and creating a D loop.
A quick and fluid movement that is super effective for wide rivers and an obstructed rear, the single Spey takes a little time to master, but is well worth the effort!
