Flabergasted is about the right description for them. The Scots have
been building salmon rods longer than any PNW angler has been alive --
I think they know a thing or two about making them.

Doubtless you are right. I have a few double handers, but have not used them
much, and I am still a lousy Spey caster. I favour the Scandinavian
underhand cast, which I am a great deal better at! I can´t really comment on
Spey rods at all.

Sage do make some of the best single handed rods available though. I have a
couple and they really are first class.
