Default Is there any advantage in a spey rod?

The Loop Black Line 8/9 is a fairly lightweight, medium action, spey

Thanks for the comment on the Loop ...I'd have preferred
the next size up (10/11) but that one doesn't come here ...
some weird decisions get made around the traps.
I'm really hoping the T&T guy can help out .. a lot.

and ...


Still, the all time overhead champ for me is my Scottish-made Daiwa
15'6" 11 wt. Very light, easy casting, and unfreakingbelievable
distance.


DW576W - 220 quid + p&p from a couple of places in the UK.

;-)



11wt might be over the top for the size fish - up to 3 kilo but
if that's what it takes to beat the wind and get the distance so be
it.
