The Line That Sold Out Is Back & Now Has A Stillwater Twin
Last Time, We Sold Out - In 2 Hours.
This Time, There's Two Of Them.
Morning,
You may remember a couple of months ago, I brought you details of a NEW fly line - I affectionately called it the 'SPUD' (Spectre Pro Ultra Dry) and it has revolutionised my river fishing so far this year.
The Fly Line That Took Me by Surprise - Is Now Made for Stillwaters
It started with a last-minute switch.
A good friend popped into the office on their way to an early-evening river session – water low, wind a little bit awkward, fish very spooky. I persuaded them to use my reel (equipped with my faithful SPUD line) – it covers multiple rod weights in one line. A few days later, they popped in to reluctantly return the reel and were very animated:
“It handled everything. Swapped it between my 2 and 4 weight rods without a hitch. I didn’t even have to change spools. Can I keep it?”
That was the #2 to #5 weight river – and if you blinked, you missed it. Our entire stock was gone in a matter of hours.
Well, now it’s back - And this time, it’s brought a Stillwater friend to the party:
The same team who produced the river version have just released a floating Stillwater version and allocated some to us, built specifically for small stillwaters, boat fishing, and long-distance dry fly work – with the same clever multi-weight design, this time in #5 to #7.
You asked ... we waited for them ...
And we’ve secured a very limited batch of both lines and have a very Special Offer on both of them - for today only (see below).
- Stillwater Line #5 to #7 - NEW - Designed for lakes, reservoirs, lochs and boats. Long leaders, smooth turnover, subtle takes. Multi-weight, so it fits your 5wt, 6wt and your 7wt.
- River Line #2 to #5 - Back In Stock - The original & my 'go to' river line this season. Light-touch presentation, perfect control, and more time fishing - less time faffing.
Please Note: This is all we’re getting for a while and when they’re gone, they really are gone.
To say I'm besotted with my 'SPUD' line is a bit of an understatement, I've not used anything else so far this year and I've not looked back - from dual-nymph rigs to delicate size 18 greenflies - it's never missed a beat (and saved me a fortune - as my other lines needed replacing this year)!
For all those of you wondering, here's the taper spec of the lines:
This Stillwater Line was made for the way we actually fish lakes and reservoirs.
Let’s be honest – most of us don’t have a spare hour on the bank messing about with three different lines. We want one that works across different rods, casts clean on a long leader, and doesn't collapse when we’re reaching out 20+ yards with a team of buzzers.
This is that line:
- Built for 5, 6 and 7 weight rods
- Handles long leaders and subtle presentations
- Great for boat work, bank work, and blustery afternoons
- Multi-weight design means you can swap it across setups
I will be stringing one up on my trusty Stillwater workhorse later this week and venturing out to get myself re-acquainted with my local Stillwater (North Yorkshire Water Park Fisheries) - you will be able to follow my novice exploits and find out more later this month.
Meanwhile, the River specific line is also back with us (the image above is the setup I've been using all season) - these lines are just waiting for a new home on your reel.
If you fish smaller rivers with lighter rods (2, 3 or 4 weight), this is a line that gives you more drift control, better turnover, and the ability to stay out longer with less kit.
You don’t need to check your spool. You don’t need to second-guess your setup.
It just works.
"There must be something in the taper / coating / core / density / diameter - it's like electricity, I'm not going to question how it works, it just does!"
I am sure that our email community (that's you) will find both of these lines very handy - and useful for the summer fishing season where smaller flies and more delicate presentations are required.
It turns out that these UK made lines are in very very short supply - the proverbial Rocking Horse S*!t.
I received a call last week to let me know that they'd had a short run of the lines delivered and would I like a few more of each - yes please!
*** We've only received a very small allocation (only 15 of each of them) and I wanted to let you know about them today ***
I've no idea when we will be receiving any more - if we ever do - so if you would like one, grab one today, you will not be disappointed.
These fly lines definitely sit in the 'goldilocks zone' by being perfect for fishing with light tippets and small flies whilst also excelling on heavier weight rods when longer casts and heavier rigs are required.
We now have these 'made in the UK' Spectre Pro Ultra Dry 2# to 5# & Spectre Pro Ultra Dry 5# to 7# fly lines available for £90 - which also includes FREE 1st Class Tracked delivery to anywhere in the UK - assuming you grab yours before 1pm today, you can be fishing with it at the weekend!
I really do believe these lines are currently the very best you can buy on the market today for both River and Stillwater dry fly fishing, especially if you regularly fish with different weight rods (as I do) - one line which really does do it all.
*** These fly lines are in very high demand (and we've only 15 of each of them) , so you may need to be quick as I do know they are in very short supply in the UK ***
Whether you’re fishing small streams for wild browns, throwing big dries for stocked rainbows, or chasing Stillwater monsters at your local - this Spectre Pro Ultra Dry fly line will be your 'go to' means for delivering a fly - I know it is mine.
P.S. While we were discussing these new Spectre Pro Ultra Dry lines with the guys at Snowbee, they did mention that they had some BRAND NEW 'Competition' Stillwater lines available, including 6wt, 7wt & 8wt versions of:
- Spectre Pro Neutral Density
- Spectre Pro Sink Tip
- Spectre Pro Roll Cast
- Spectre Pro Intermediate
- Spectre Pro Sinking
We are now in a position where we can order these in for any customer who would like one (and we can get you a good discount - which is a bonus)!
Just reply to this email with the line you are interested in, and I will do the rest.
