BEULAH SPEY: 13'6 8/9 WT
Beulah Classic Spey Series 13'6" 8/9 Weight 4 Piece
There are still many shops, owners, guides and shop employees that stand tough on the idea that a fisher’s first spey rod should be between 13’0” and 14’0” long. Even though the Spey game has drastically shifted towards shorter rods in the past couple of years, this is still a sound practice. Folks new to the two-handed rod will take a season or two developing the muscle memory and technique that differs from single hand fishing to become sound, efficient two-hand casters in tough fishing environments. There is definitely forgiveness in length making this a great first choice stick. Many guys out there just feel comfortable and enjoy casting a longer stick. Call it old school, traditional, whatever, it ties them to their non-Scottish ancestry. Whatever, tons of folks like casting longer spey rods which is o.k., legal and prudent! Our Beulah 13'6" 8/9 is a sound choice for a go anywhere medium/large to large size summer Steelhead stream and makes a terrific go to winter Steelhead rod.

We all can remember just a few years ago heading to any summer or fall Steelhead destination and in a week of fishing seeing just a handful of Spey rods on any given river. Nowadays, take the same trip and you're more than likely to see just a handful of single handed fly rods wielded by Steelheaders. When Beulah Rods blossomed into full blown production of two-handed Spey rods just three years ago it was spot on timing and a natural extension of the “Switch” series they had unleashed that changed fisherman's minds about what a fly rod could be.
One thing that all Spey fishing seems to have in common over the last few years: Neither two rod builders nor two anglers can generally agree on anything Spey related from casting technique to properly lining the rod to how to hold your mouth 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 pull. It is all of these factors and questions about lines, casting technique, flies and what part of the water column best suits success that adds to the never-ending mystique and thrill of fishing a two-hand fly rod.
