Re: what do you use spey for??

vangofishin, ya, a friend of mine uses the Okuma centerpin reel and loves it.

He has the Okuma centerpin float rod too, they sell them for like (don't quote me on this) about $50-90 or in that price range. And they are from 12-14' long.

One nice CHEAP package.

I've used Okuma rods and they are very nice. I use an Okuma fly reel on my spey rod and it is very nice, smoother than any other reel i've ever used. They are cheap, but are quality made. Not a big fan of their baitcasting reels though...
