[cool][font "Poor Richard"][size 3][green]Hi there hartz – Spey would be the correct spelling of the term. Naturally one roll casts when obstructions limits the ability to back cast. Spey Casting requires less effort than standard overhand casts if done correctly and Spey Casting allow you to cover water you couldn't cover with standard casting techniques. Casting in tight quarters is easy and gone is the worry of "what am I going to catch on my back cast" because don't need a back cast. With spey casting one try’s to get most of the line out of the water. With roll casting you need some line behind and to the side. Most of the line remains in the water to help load the rod. I am hardly a qualified instructor by that is the way I see it. Others might be able to explain it better.
