Also known as switch and spey rods, spey casting has been around a long time (originated in the heart of Scotland in the mid-1800s) it has been gathering fans here due to its’ unique casting qualities. I must say that I have become a fan. With these two handed rods you can create longer casts without the need of an overhead back cast. 90 Degrees of change is accomplished in 1/3 the time or less than with traditional single handed overhead casting. Whether you’re fishing a wet line or a dry line, with traditional Spey, Skagit, Scandi or Switch lines, you’ll find these rods to be incredibly accurate and capable of casting long distances with ease. My signature series of Switch/Spey rods come standard with my time tested hollowed tapers.
My hollow building process results in a 20-35% lighter weight rod without sacrificing strength for these larger rods. In addition, hollow building adds a “snap” or “crispness” to the feel of the rod.

This rod is great for steelhead or light salmon. This hollowed rod has lots of backbone and is one of my favorite Steelhead rods. Feeling the pull or grab of a fish while tight lining a long lined swinging fly is exhilarating. The excitement of the hook set, doing battle right through the release, is a feeling second to none.
