Scientific Anglers Third Coast Textured Spey Tip System Kit
Tapered, Textured, Multi-Density Spey Tips
When you’re swinging a fly for salmon or steelhead using a two-handed rod, controlling the depth and speed of the fly is paramount. That’s why we created the Third Coast Textured Spey Tips. The TC Tip system is a revolutionary approach to Spey tips, as they’re the industry’s first truly tapered, fully textured, double-density sinking tips. Available in a multitude of densities to get the fly just where you need it.
- The world’s first tapered, textured multi-density Spey tips
- Shooting Texturing reduces friction, allowing for easier pick-ups of sinking tips
- Tapered design aids in turning over flies at any distance

FAQ
What makes the Third Coast Textured Spey Tips different from other Spey tips?
The Third Coast Textured Spey Tips are the industry’s first truly tapered, fully textured, double-density sinking tips. The tapered design and shooting texturing reduce friction and improve fly control, allowing for better depth and speed management when fishing for salmon or steelhead.
How do the textured tips improve fly performance?
The shooting texturing reduces friction, which allows for easier pick-ups of sinking tips. The tapered design also helps in turning over flies at any distance, improving accuracy and control during casting.
What sink rates are available in the kit?
The kit includes a sink rate of Int./Sink 2 at 1.25/2.0 ips. Additional sink rates are not fully specified in the product details.

I’ve been using the Third Coast Textured Spey Tips for several weeks now and notice a significant improvement in fly control when casting in deep water. The textured surface helps the fly stay on course and the tapered design makes it easier to adjust depth. Perfect for steelhead fishing in cold streams.

The tips perform well in both still and moving water. The double-density construction gives better sink rates than previous models I’ve used. I appreciate the reduced friction during casting, which makes it easier to pick up the fly at the right depth.

After switching from standard Spey tips, I found the textured design and tapering make a noticeable difference in how the fly behaves in the water. The sink rates are consistent and predictable, which helps with targeting specific zones in the river.
