WHAT ARE ALL THESE LONG FLY STICKS DOING ON THE RIVER THESE DAYS?
Everyone here at the Spey Steelhead Fly Shop can remember that is wasn't too long ago that we could head to any Steelhead river and in a week of fishing see a couple of Spey fly casting rods on any stretch of river. Take the same trip today and you will probably see a handful of single handed fly rods working the runs, and two-handed spey rods will be everywhere. When Beulah Rods entered into full blown production of two-handed Spey rods three years ago it was brilliant timing and a natural
extension of the Switch two-handed/ one-handed rods they had pioneered that changed fly caster's minds about what a fly rod could and should be
be.
One thing that all Spey fly casters seem to have in common in recent years: No two rod builders nor two spey casters
can generally agree on anything about the Spey Casting world from casting technique to properly lining the rod to how to hold your mouth
and chew gum when spey casting. We have also noticed that in the Spey game when you are chasing anadromous fish you never know if
you are twenty minutes or two weeks away from your next chrome incident. It is all of these factors and questions about lines, casting
technique, flies and what part of the water column you need to hunt to ensure success that adds to the never-ending mystique and thrill of
fishing a two-hand fly rod.
BEULAH'S PLATINUM SPEY ROD SERIES
This new three rod series features an 11''7” 5 weight TRUE trout spey, a 12’6” 6 weight and a 13’2” 7 weight. These Spey rods are totally different from the Beulah Classic Series Spey Rods. The Platinum Spey Rods offer a more traditional flex pattern that loads much deeper into the butt section, has a fast and terrific feeling tip recovery and is feather weight in hand. Beulah's new Platinum Series is designed around brand new mandrels and utilizes a Carbon scrim process, lower resin count to bring the overall blank weight down and a much higher blank pressure rolling technique that insures better overall blank consistency. Now more than ever, whether you prefer fast or moderate to fast action, short or long, light or strong, Beulah Fly Fishing offers a beautifully built two hand spey fly rod for discriminating anglers at the great prices that Beulah is known for.
