Re: New spey rod definition ?

Double -handed rod can be any length, so can single-handed rods, the norm for this side of the pond is 15ft for a Double -handed rod and 10ft for a single handed rod.
Years ago you could see rods up to 20ft being used, the big rods now are 18ft (used on the tay mostly).
A rod is after all just a spring and a lever, and most of the private beats on the Spey have manacured lawns, no a blade of Grass out of place.
