Ron,
I purchased a 12 foot 5 weight trout spey this past summer. I used it to swing streamers for trout on a couple of east side rivers. It was truly a blast. The ability to use casts such as the single spey to keep the fly in the water more and the ease of casting made for nice confortable days fishing. The catching was nice also. The trout speys probably are not for everyone but I perfer to swing flies even for trouts. So for me it is the perfect rod.
