Re: looking for recomendations on a spey set up

Camodrifter,
Go talk to Poppy (REDSHED on the board) at the Red Shed fly shop in Peck. He is the MAN when it comes to Spey stuff! He knows everythig you need to get rolling.

Cabela's in Boise had some Cabela's Traditions Spey rods (apparently made by St. Croix) in their bargain cave for about 90 bucks. I bought a 8/9 and put a Tioga #12 regular arbor (more backing) reel on it (bought on ebay for something like 125.00) Then I had Poppy line it up for me. He put the right line for the rod on it. You do what I did, and you'll be spey casting for around 325.00.

Or better yet you can go see him, and he'll get you going with a package deal for about 400-450, and you might get a spey lesson out of the deal. Really, if I had to do it all over again, I'd just buy the package from Poppy.
