What is Feel N Cast
A shooting running line with customized measured holding line and supple transition point optimized for casting when there's glare on the water and during early morning & late evening low light conditions.

When you're unable to distinguish the shooting head running line color transition out in front of the rod tip, you can now feel the line transition point with the correct overhang and know it's time to cast.

Line Description
A shooting running line that eliminates the need to visually check for the location of the head outside of the rod tip before making the next cast. Simply strip the line through your fingers until the supple raised transition point is felt. At this point the head is at a specific location predetermined in the custom manufacturing process that indicates the preferred overhang desired when casting.

Forget about looking at the fly line to figure out when you can cast, especially during low light conditions or when there is glare on the water preventing you from seeing the the fly line at all.

This shooting running line is custom fit to your specific casting preference including how much running line is outside the rod tip when casting with both visual identification and feeling the supple transition point. The shooting running line also exhibits a change in color at the supple transition point to indicate when you've reached the preferred length of "overhang".

Product Specs

Our signature shooting running line is offered two diameters:

Option 1: 30 meters with holding line .032, 20lb blue / .026, 15lb yellow

Option 2: 30 meters with holding line .038, 30lb orange / .032, 20lb blue

Product Characteristic 

The supple raised Feel N Cast transition point located where the color change occurs in the shooting running line determines the position of the head outside the rod tip when casting.

The shooting running line and head are usually different colors to indicate exactly how much "overhang" is perfect for your casting stroke. A color change of the shooting running line at the Feel N Cast transition point is an additional feature of our manufacturing process.

  • Custom 6" loop built into the end of the line that connects to the head
  • Loop is large enough to pass entire coiled head through, but won't interfere when casting
  • Low friction
  • Low memory
  • Floating shooting running line
  • Custom constructed in the USA

To create a custom shooting running line we require TWO measurements:

  1. The distance from the top hand gripping position to the rod tip
  2. Your preferred length of running line outside the rod tip (overhang)

With these TWO measurements we will construct the the Feel N Cast transition point in the line structure to suit the caster's preference for feel rather than a visual check of the overhang.

This custom shooting running line is optimized to match your casting style with compatible:

  • Floating and sinking shooting heads
  • Skagit heads
  • Scandinavia heads
  • Short belly Spey lines
Custom products are not available through Fly Shops and Outfitters
