    Default A two handed rod for trout....

    Just fyi for those thinking of a light spey rod. Ebay has a Wind Warrior 3/4wt eleven footer for only $251 with free shipping. Only 2 left. By Amundson. Only other ones I kow of are the $600 rods by Anderson and Meiser. Mystic has a 3wt for $479. $251 for a brand new one with case and free shipping.....I WILL learn how to cast that rod.

    I got mine from Steve Godshall. 11' 6" 3wt spey. It was a tray to wrap kit. Still in the learning process of two handed casting but getting better at it. They are fun to cast and great for swinging flies for trout. I paid 150 for the rod and 60 for a custom line Plus a reasonable shipping price. If you want to wrap your own get in touched with Steve

    Just make sure you get a line - one with a short head - that matches an eleven foot spey rod. The only problem is that after each cast you'll probably have to retrieve some line before your next cast. Also shooting heads with running lines are harder to mend than integrated lines.

    I second getting the right line - I found a switch rod at a reasonable price, but didn't know to get a special line for it, and didn't like it, so sold it.
