ROARING RIVER GREASED LINE SERIES
ROARING RIVER DREDGER GLX
Th is is the “go to” rod to cover Northwest steelhead under a wide range of river conditions, lines and flies. Rod action is moderate with a positive feel, allowing the angler to use a bit more authority lifting heavier sinking lines with heavily weighted flies, resetting the anchor, then delivering a long cast. Expect effortless 50 to 90 foot casts, with short belly head and running monofi lament. Th is rod is at home on larger western rivers where continuous longer casts are needed to cover the run and battle of big fish when they decide to nail your fly. It is a must rod for trips to the Dean, Babine, Kispiox rivers.
Over a century ago Jock Scott wrote of Greased Line fishing as performed by A.H.E. Wood to present a fly broadside to salmon to entice the fish to strike. Th is traditional form of Spey casting maintains a relatively fi xed line length of 65-100 feet, allowing you to cover water without retrieving or lengthening line on each cast; keeping you less tired and more focused on your prize. These powerful designs use the full bend of the rod, flexing through the mid-section when fully loaded. The Roaring River Greased Line series of two-hand rods offer the ultimate combination of power and grace in a rod and provide you perfect swing speed and fly control. For Spey casts from 50 to 150 feet the Roaring River Greased Line two-hand rod series will truly allow you to fish the water “Fine and Far off.” - Steve Choate Model FR1807/8-4 GLX GR LN FR1688/9-4 GLX GR LN FR1808/9-4 GLX GR LN FR1809/10-4 GLX GR LN FR1929/10-4 GLX GR LN FR18010/11-4 GLX GR LN FR20410/11-4 GLX GR LN
