The Cadence Concept
Bringing over 40 years hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the range of ability and potential that fly fishers
have across the world, I have designed the Cadence - Ian Gordon range to offer everyone a solution
to match their specific needs and fishing circumstances.
Our direct selling model provides customers with a first class product and after sales service at reasonable cost.
I am now recruiting a selection of keen instructors, guides and enthusiasts across the UK, Norway, Iceland and Ireland to join with me as part of the Cadence team, to work with schools and youngsters to motivate and support our
next generations of fly-fishing enthusiasts. If you are interested and want to find out more, contact me directly for more information and to arrange an informal discussion - speyonline@gmail.com

Cadence Rods
Our full range covers the most popular sizes and actions of double-handed rods required by salmon and trout anglers. Interchangeable sections for each rod size provides us with the ability to change the action of the rod to suit,
not only the casting technique but fishing applications of the individual fisherman,
because as we know, one size doesn’t fit all.
Our high-quality blanks are constructed from the highest quality contemporary carbon technology and materials,
ensuring rods are lightweight, slim, and strong.
The bespoke nature of the rods includes a choice of handles, with all rods being offered in traditional cork
or a slim, traditional style EVA handle.
We offer various rod packaging options such as a Cordura tube, leather tube through to
a bespoke fitted case. We use of the highest quality materials and components including AAA cork, Fuji guides,
Alps reel seats - the finish is simply stunning!

Cadence Line Match for Cadence Rods
Colour Coding
12’6” Cadence Rods
12’6” Full Flex - Suggested Cadence Line Colour Red
Good for mid Stroke but heavy for Underhand. The Red Microspey line will be the perfect match for this set up. https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-micro-spey-fly-line-6-7/
12’6” Standard Rod - Suggested Cadence Line Colour White
For underhand technique the white line is good, people with normal techniques need orange. This applies to all rod. Shooting heads could be longer for joe blogs. White Microspey for this one https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-micro-spey-fly-line-7-8/
12’6” Stiff set up – Suggested Cadence Line Colour Orange works well when fishing small rivers and with a more traditional upper hand dominant technique
Our orange 36foot Microspey line with its built-in running line is a perfect match for this rod. https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-micro-spey-fly-line-8-9/
13’6” Cadence Rods
13’6” Full Flex - Suggested Cadence Line Colour White https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-spey-line-7f/
7/8 White Cadence Spey line was perfect on this set up. The white shooting head suited a more traditional Spey technique of upper hand dominant when fished on this set up. The White or Orange Cadence Microspey lines will work very well on this set up.
13’6” Standard Rod - Suggested Cadence Line Colour Orange
Orange Spey line was a good match, performing well on this rod. https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-spey-line-8f/ Especially for those favouring a sharper more underhand technique. The orange shooting head suited a more traditional Spey technique of upper hand dominant when fished on this set up.https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-shooting-head-line-8f/
13’6” Stiffer Rod- Suggested Cadence Line Colour Blue
Good with the Cadence Spey Line. Long stroke was effortless. Good turnover and line speed. https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-spey-line-9f/
14’6” Cadence Rods
14’6” Full Flex – Suggested Cadence Line Colour Orange
https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-spey-line-8f/ Nice with a Spey Line. Cadence worked well
The SH short worked well on this with the tip + 6’ would be ideal. The Cadence SH also performed well on this.
14’6” Standard – Suggested Cadence Line Colour Blue Line
This set up works well for people with a true underhand cast https://www.cadencefishing.co.uk/product/ian-gordon-shooting-head-line-9f/
14’6” Stiff – Suggested Cadence Line Colour Green LIne
The stiffer action suits a shorter Spey Line better than the long. The long stroke required to load the rod evenly required a better technique to achieve a good result.
15’ Cadence Rods

A light Speyline worked well on this set up. A great summer rod set up
