Re: what do you use spey for??

The folks hereabouts on the Great Lakes tribs use VERY light mono on theirs. It allows very long, controlled drifts, and is usually fished with a very light bobber and a "string" of small split shot to the bait, usually an egg sack, or "wrigglers", but sometimes a fly, to keep it "at depth" and relatively straight down.

It is a very effective technique, though I don't use it myself. These guys are usually unpopular, as they can be at the top of a good run and tie the whole run up all day, because of the long drifts which can be accomplished.
