Basic Skagit Casting: Watch the D loop Drill in This Troubled Skagit Caster Video, if you are a rank beginner, Force yourself to make short casts with 3/4 of the head out the end of your rod tip while doing the D loop drill and watch the D loop for and make the forward cast when the D loop looks ready. I’m sure you are further along in your casting than this but a drill like this will help you to realize that it’s not complicated
How to Skagit Cast: Think of the sweep to the forward cast transition as less like a U turn and more like a sideways D. So the sweep is like a half circle and when the sweep ends, you cast straight forward. This isn’t exactly what happens in a true cast but If you visualize it differently it might help the light go on for you.
Skagit Casting for Rank Beginners: Practice with just the butt section, in the mirror if it will help you see the position of the rod and your hands to better understand what is going on. Sweep to the 4:00 position. So if your nose is pointing at 12:00 the end of the butt section is pointing at 4:00. Now, go directly into the Key position, which is basically the forward casting position. That’s all that has to happen. It’s basically a circle up. (or can be called a drift) The top wrist swivels, the rod rotates in basically less than a quarter of a circle and travels up because the bottom and pushes down and away at the same time.
Skagit Casting Lesson: Implementing bottom hand Skagit casting Technique: Pin your top elbow against your rib cage and gripping your upper hand tightly around the top cork. If you rotate your top wrist all the way around from the sweep to the forward cast position with your top hand gripped on the cork that will kind of give you a visual as to how the rod moves in a circle up. Its pretty hard to cast that way but with just the butt section in hand it may give you a pretty good idea. It’s not complicated.
Skagit Casting 101: When your actually casting Take lots of time, think your way through the cast, watch the D loop. I suggest a high slow sweep to give yourself plenty of time to think, watch, and cast. Good luck and let us know if this makes any sense whatsoever or is helpful in anyway and thank you for asking!!!!

This is one of the best videos I've seen on casting Skagit or Spey I never thought of just practising the d loops like you do in this video I just started using an 11.6 ft 6wt Skagit rod with 300 gr OPST line with 30 gr sink tip and I'm having a hard time casting past the shooting head I can't get the running line out it stops about 10 feet into the running line but now watching your video I'm gonna practice just on the d loop until I feel comfortable letting it fly.Thank you so much I'm going to try first thing tomorrow morning

Hey, another thing you might cover in a video sometime is this... I've learned (the hard way) as a raw beginner that the elevation of your feet in relation to the water surface has a HUGE impact on Skagit / Spey casting. Most videos on the subject (including yours) are shot with the caster standing in the water. Well, most of my learning has been done at city park ponds, where I'm standing on shore with my feet 6 to 12 inches above the water surface. Translation: Blown Anchors. The same would be true for casting from a boat, I would think. Lengthening my leader helps, as does keeping my sweep and forward stroke a little bit "side-arm." Anyway, I think a video on that could help a lot of people, and I haven't seen one on that topic anywhere so far. Thanks again.

I have been searching but not found any decent videos on skagit casting when the bank is high or wading not possible. If the techniques in this video were applied on my local river the bank mentioned would be continually getting caught. The search for the solution to this continues.

Hey! Loved the vid, but had two questions. Firstly, i was wondering if you recommend the opst commando setup? Secondly, if I'm looking to cast about 70ft, how much line do you recommend I have outside the guides when I begin my cast? Anyways, keep up the content!
@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins
@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins 4 года назад
Thanks Daniel. Yes, OPST is good. You will want the Commando head completely outside the guides with about a foot of overhang (running line) you can work up to 2 to 3 feet out the guides as you progress.

Thank you Jedi, 180 is a critical part to complete the full circle on any of the roll cast family exercise. Not really 100 sure when you mention that the loop must be directly behind us, I do understand the concept Jedi, but from a beginner point of view can be tricky if not confused when they place the loop behind and the results are not as show. We as a beginners, it really helps a kind of ''visual reference'' on this part, I start to picture a rail train tracks to have a better reference over my 180 principal, and even like that, my forward cast fail many times during my practices. Personally, I solve the problem by doing a more consistent and firm open or ''around the house'' sweep to rod load all the way to the 1001-1002 timing count, I actually can feel the Dloop head tension ''TAP'' on the rod tip much better over my casting shoulder, thats when I knew is time to go with the forward by following the opposite direction of the Dloop head tension ''TAP''. The TAP is very clear on most of your videos Jedi. Words are not my element, so I hope it helps. Keep them coming please, I love your work!! Best Mag

Hey! I got an OPST commando skagit for a 10 foot 7WT single hand rod. I tried it out today at my local fly casting ponds and had a hard time. My roll casts are pretty good, but was struggling with this. I see that I might have to be in the water to do this. I was fishing elevated, away from the edge of water. Ill grab my waders seee if it helps being inside.
@francoisl7663
@francoisl7663 5 лет назад
I dont think I was able to get an appropriate D loop where I was standing away from the water
@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins
@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins 5 лет назад
Yeah Francois, its pretty easy to blow your anchor if you are elevated high above the water but if your roll casts are ok, then it can be done. Just dont overpower the sweep. Go very slow!

@@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins Thanks!! So it turns out a 12 foot sink tip on my 10 foot single handed rod is not the best choice. I tried a 7.5 last night and it is muchhhh easier to cast. Night and day difference. Still need lot of practice so I'll be watching the vids. Thanks

Great videos, I think we need to touch the 180 principal, at this video about 6:57 the anchor&Dloop would be a great sample of a good 180. Master the timing to get a true 180 principal was my biggest challenge. Let as know how did you mastered the 180 please. Thank you and keep up the good work.

LineSpeedJedi okay. I used to live in Spokane, WA. Tried my luck in the music scene for about three years but it didn't work out. maybe one day I can get back up there. I'm all the way down here in Alabama. I've been working on some short skagit line. I took a 30 feet Maximum Catch floating line and cut it in half. Well, I have been experimenting with it at the local lake with a 9'6" 5 weight single hand fly rod. (I guess I'm saying that I'm too cheap to get the opst commando shooting head but probably will get fed up and break down and purchase it eventually), and it seems to do fairly good. I'm wondering which end I should loop to the running line. Should I try looping the thin tapered end to the running line? I have the thick end to the running line right now but haven't tied the thin end yet. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this? You seem to ha e your stuff together on this skagit line stuff.

When a rod states 250-275 grain skagit line is that only talking about the shooting head grain weight? Or is it shooting head grain weight + tip grain weight need to equal between 250-275?
@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins
@LineSpeedJediTimRawlins 5 лет назад
Usually that revers to the weight of the Skagit head alone. However if you combine the weight of the head and sinktip to equal that amount you can use waterborne anchors and airborne with pretty good results
