Searching for the ultimate Spey rod?

steffen Tackle and Gear Leave a Comment

As two-handed casters, we search for that one rod that can do it all. A rod that can chuck heavy sink-tips and big flies and still feel groovy and easy going with a floating line and a small fly. A rod that can handle a big chrome fish, but will still feel fun with a 5 pound summer fish. A rod that won’t punish you when your casting sucks (everyone’s casting sucks from time to time), but throws laser beams when you’re on. Does this rod exist? NO – however.
