I am sort of a tinker bell. Geeeez I don't like that handle. uh....I like to experiment. I haven't even tried my new 10' rod yet. I see H&H has an 11'-6" 6/7wt spey rod kit for $88. Could that make a good fly rod? Say mount a 14" Tennessee handle about 1.25 diameter with sliding rings for the reel. Would mount reel where fishes well.....and probably have a lot of fighting butt still below the reel. Depending on where the reel sits....you could actually be fishing a 10'-6" rod in actuallity. That doesn't sound so bad to me. Know nuttin' bout spey rods (and ity shows huh?). It is listed as 6/7 wt but that doesn't mean it would be a good single hand fly rod. I could build it with the lightest of components and perhaps overline it.
Any opinions would be appreciated. My opinion is the only one I am an expert on.....and right now it it not based on very much information.

Thanks
