Mastery Series Spey XLT
Competition
Weight - Floating - Sunset by
Scientific Anglers
It's not too early to talk dynasty
Ever since Mastery Series Spey XLT was
introduced a few years ago it has won the annual, international,
spey casting championship, recently breaking a 110-year record.
A lot of it has to do with the great talent of Scott MacKenzie
and Steve Choate. But Scott and Steve would agree that a lot of
it also has to do with the remarkable taper design by Dr. Way
Yin and Bruce Richards. Nothing else comes close.
Spey XLT - Championship Distance Taper
Applications:
Innovative "Go Long" design emphasizes extra length in
taper and head design to achieve the absolute maximum
distance in spey casting
Extra-long taper and complex head for the longest
championship-caliber casts in spey fishing
Also fishes well at normal distances
Long head eliminates need to strip and shoot line
Ideal. for traditional spey and overhead casting
Ideal for salmon, steelhead, and big water
New
heavier 'Competition' version for heavier rods and
competitive casting
Welded Xtra-Strength Streamlined Loop - stick and strong
- for easy connections and seamless fishing [front]
Taper Characteristics:
Extra long line for the longest spey casts
Fantastic long-distance line control for large rivers
Line Weight - 3rd digit of code (and 4th if double digit line
weight)
Match line weight to rod.
Density - last digit of code.
F - Floating
"Since its introduction in 2002, Mastery
Series Spey XLT long belly line has revolutionized performance
expectations for all spey lines. Spey XLT was inspired by the
design concepts of the greatest spey caster of all time,
Alexander Grant, of Inverness, Scotland. After setting
consecutive distance records in International spey-casting
competitions from 2002 to 2005, Spey XLT was used by Ness-side
ghillie Scott MacKenzie to shatter Mr. Grant ~ own 110 year old
record with a cast of 68 yards. Now imitated but still never
equaled, Spey XLT continues to represent the standard by which
all other long belly lines are judged. Spey XLT is designed to
fish "Fine and Far Off," permitting uncompromising turnover at
great distances. With the long belly of Spey XLT, casts of over
120 feet [40 yards] can be made repeatedly without having to
strip and shoot line with each cast. The design of Spey XLT also
maximizes fly control during the swing, maximizing the
efficiency of the long rod and allowing complex mends to be
performed during the swing. Traditionally the choice of the
expert and connoisseur, Spey XLT has been redesigned to conform
to the new industry standard spey single line weight
designations, and the series has been expanded to include 5 and
6 weight lines, as well as an unaltered competition version for
situations where the longest fishing casts are required."
- Dr Way Yin
"XLT has become the ultimate dry line
fishing tool for steelhead and salmon for presentation of a fly
"Fine and Far Off ' Spey casting with XLT is both beautiful to
watch and intensely satisfying to perform!" - Steve Choate,
2002 International Spey Casting Champion, developer of new
Mastery Series Skagit lines
Mastery lines incorporate Scientific Anglers'
Advanced Shooting Technology. The unique 'dry-slick' coating enhances
every aspect of floating line performance. In just three short years,
amazing AST - Advanced Shooting Technology - has redefined fly-line
performance. Using a patented coating process, AST is integrated within
the line coating to achieve a unique 'dry' slickness that keeps the line
permanently slick and continuously clean. Try an AST line just once, and
nothing else will do. The dry slickness of AST prevents dirt and algae
from clinging to line, which means line stays cleaner and floats higher
for longer intervals. AST isn't just permanently slick - it's lightning
slick for the fastest, smoothest shooting of your life. With AST, line
shoots through the guides virtually friction-free and keeps on doing it
for the life of the line - without the need for dressing. Plus, because
the line stays so clean and free of debris with AST, Scientific Anglers
lines are significantly less prone to wear and corrosion.
