Snap T Tips - Avoiding Hitting The Rod

This RIO Fly Fishing Tip focuses on making a good Snap T cast with a two-handed Spey rod. In the first of a series of three Snap T tips, Simon Gawesworth shows how to avoid hitting the rod tip with the fly during the cast - a surprisingly common mistake.

RIO's Fly Fishing Tips series are short, less-than-a-minute videos, each bought to you by a RIO employee or ambassador, and showing a single fly fishing tip to help you become a better fly fisher. The series includes freshwater, saltwater and Spey topics, and a mix of casting,fishing and gear tips - some basic, some technical, and everything in between.

Each tip will be shown on RIO's Facebook and Instagram pages every Friday, so if you like the sound of this series and want to get these tips quickly, be sure to follow RIO on these platforms.
