[black][size 3]the spey casting rods were developed for a very specific purpose. In the Northwest, where the rivers are wide, and the fish large (steelhead, etc.) they make presentation much easier than trying to wade in deep water. Plus, they don't require a clear field for your back cast.[/size][/black]

[size 3]But your right, a 100 foot cast doesn't make much sense on a river/stream only 30 feet wide.[/size]

[size 3]If you have ever seen anyone with good skills, cast with a spey rod, it's a thing of beauty.[/size]
