Folks,

I am thinking of buying a lightweight, low-end spey rod, which I would
use somewhat sparingly.
I have identified 3 possibilities:
1. TFO professional 6 weight 12'6"
2. StCroix Avid, 7/8, 13"
3. Orvis Two-Handed 1368/9-3, Mid 8.0
Any experience with the above? Any alternatives?

Suggestions, advice, tips are most welcome!

Cheers,

-Vittorio
