BEULAH PLATINUM SPEY ROD SERIES: 11' 7" 5 WEIGHT TROUT SPEY
BEULAH PLATINUM SPEY ROD SERIES: 11' 7" 5 WEIGHT TROUT SPEY - 4 PIECE
A true trout spey rod: what a great idea! Beulah had a hard time wrapping their minds around the idea that a 5 weight spey rod needing 380-400 grain load was actually fun for trout. So, they created the newly released 11’7” 5 weight Platinum Trout Spey Rod! You’ll find a sweet spot between 250-300 grains depending on your line choice. As Emeril would say, "BAM!" Now you’re definitely having fun chasing trout. Hunt Redsides on the Deschutes employing soft hackles on a floating line or small to medium streamer patterns with sink tips on the Yakima, blitz down to the Rogue, Klamath and Trinity later in the season fishing Half Pounders with the possibility of mature 3-7 pound Steelies. Truly a casting dream and a blast to fish, Beulah's new 5 weight Platinum makes a perfect trout spey, but make no mistake: It's ready for that surprise trophy fish!

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.
The Fly Fishing Place is proud to offer the complete line of Beulah Fly Rods, from the traditional one-handed Guide Series to the innovative Switch, Spey and Blue water Series and the new Surf casting series.
Beulah rods are designed by professional guides on the West Coast. Their wealth of experience and dedication to creating real life casting solutions ensures Beulah rods are truly World Class.
Unlike almost every rod manufacturer today, Beulah has built a "no-fluff" line of distinctly tailored rods specific to serious anglers needs. They don't bring out a whole new line of "next generation must-have" fly rods every year. Each rod is designed to be the classic working tool for the discriminating anglers needs for years to come.
Beulah is committed to providing high quality products at realistic prices. Beulah's rods are cosmetically perfect and offer features normally found on rods at twice the price. Spare tips and a no hassle lifetime warranty are standard on Guide Series and Blue Water Series Beulah rods.
Blanks: Beulah blanks start with the industry's best 52 million modulus high-strain graphite. Beulah spent the extra time and money here at the heart of the casting tool to develop a series of fly rod blanks that have great hoop strength, fast smooth recovery, and perfect flex patterns throughout the four rod series.
Grips and Reel Seats: The quality of Beulah's Portuguese cork grips is unbelievable. Every grip is built on the blank ring by ring to insure quality and longevity. The reel seats are equally fine and are specifically matched to each rod series for form and function. Nickel and hardwood reel seats grace the Guide Series, while the Switch, Blue water and Spey rods a come with saltwater proof anodized aluminum.
Guides: Beulah applies the highest quality Aconite-Insert stripping guides to all of their rods. Each guide set on each rod model is engineered, sized and spaced to enhance the performance of each rod.
Wrappings and Finish: In a word: Beautiful.
Beulah goes the The Extra Mile: All Beulah Guide series and Blue Water series rods come with a partitioned rod sock to protect your rod in transit, a protective Cordura covered tube and a spare tip section. What good does a warranty do when you break a rod tip on the fly fishing trip of a lifetime? With Beulah, you are covered: Just take out your extra tip and get back on the river.
