6/7wt. 11'6" 4 Piece
116 6/7 Spey rod is the lightest offering in our Original series. Dont let the length fool you, this is not a Switch rod (maybe an extension of) and our 116 has plenty of power down low and is one those rods in the industry that took many dedicated two-hand fisherman away from 140, 150 and 160 Spey rods. This rod is a terrific choice for a go anywhere summer Steelhead rod, Alaskan trout Spey for swinging streamers to large Rainbow and crosses over terrifically for chugging Wogs for hulky shouldered Silver Salmon. This rod is a progressive taper and fishes best with Scandinavian and Skagit type two-hand lines. A blast working runs from your first three foot/tip line dump to casting 80 of line with authority as you ease into the heart of the run.
