fishing traditionally in The Fens

Is it a salmon rod that can spey cast occasionally or one to spey cast all
the time?
If it is the former then most of the longer rods will do, 14-16 feet #9-11,
if the latter then I would go for a longer, stiffer rod 16-18 feet #10-11. I
have a Diawa Powermesh 15 foot # 9-10 that spey casts when needed, but I
don't think they make them now, have a look at the Lochmor or Whisker series
which are reasonably priced.
