Spey Rod: Beulah Classic Spey Series 13'6" 8/9 Weight
BEULAH CLASSIC SPEY FLY ROD: 13'6" 8/9 WT 4-PIECE. There are still many shops, owners, guides and shop employees that stand tough on the idea that an angler's first spey rod should be between 13' and 14' long. Even though the Spey game has drastically shifted towards shorter rods in the past couple of years, this is still a sound practice. Folks new to the two-handed rod will take a season or two developing the muscle memory and technique that differs from single hand fishing to become sound, efficient two-hand casters in tough fishing environments. There is definitely forgiveness in length making this a great first choice stick. Many guys out there just feel comfortable and enjoy casting a longer stick. Call it old school, traditional, whatever, it ties them to their non-Scottish ancestry. Lots of folks like casting longer spey rods which is okay, legal and prudent! Our Beulah 13'6" 8/9 is a sound choice for a "go anywhere" medium/large to large size summer Steelhead stream and makes a terrific go to winter Steelhead rod.
This is a progressive taper with a fast action that excels with Scandinavian and Skagit line choices. With the extra length at 13'6" line choices also drastically open up with mid belly lines like Airflo Delta, Delta Long, Rio Windcutters and long belly lines like NextCast 75,85 and 95.
USE OF ROD: This will be a great choice for all medium/large and larger size bodies of water for summer Steelhead, and an excellent go to choice for a dedicated winter Steelhead rod.
