With the Float Rod as well as a Switch Rod you have some options if you keep your mind open and do the math.
Typically you will use a float reel on a float rod. You can also use any other mid arbor flyrod with modified drag. You can also add a light spinning reel such as the Okuma TCP 15. These will all depend on if you are casting a regular dry fly, a heavy streamer, clouser, popper or even a micro jig.
You can use the same options on the Switch Rod with the added option of an ultra light Baitcaster as well.
The Spey rod which is close to the switch rod will not allow the use of the Baitcast option because of the fiber core position.
The Spey Rod will funcion best with a Mid Arbor Reel such as the Okuma Helio. Unless you have the money for a Ross Momentum Saltwater Spey reel or a Van Staal C-Vex.
As far as casting goes in tight cover you can use the Roll Cast, Spey Cast or the Whip Cast. I have another one that I am working on as well.[cool]
