For your consideration is this new 10ft 2wt Microspey rod. This rod is built on a blank that Steve Godshall put me into. I have been building microspey rods on this series of blanks for 5 or 6 years. This is a true trout spey rod.
This rod has a dark matt green finish, with dark green wraps. Low build wrap finish, on light wire TICH guides with a TICH winding check. Flor 9&5/8" upper cork grip, with 3& 7/8" lower grip. Recessed cap and ring cork reel seat, with black hardware. I have used this same set-up on other rods with no issues on keeping a reel secure. Also includes a cloth rod sock and a maroon cordura travel rod tube.
Rod weight is 3.37oz, so will balance out with a normal light trout reel. I used a Ross Colorado 2 and 3 on mine.
Per Steve the rod is rated for 200 to 240 grains two handed lines. I have used 175 and 200 grain commandos, and a a 208 grain Scandi on this same blank. A good friend uses a 200 grain Commando and up to 10ft tips. I like the 175 for it allows greater flexibility. Rod has good tip strength, and the tip will not collapse as it does with some light blanks.
With the current set-up, can also be used as a 4/6 wt nymphing rod, or as a single handed spey rod. Very fun rod.
$sold shipped CONUSA. Will discuss other destinations. PayPal is fine.
Thank you,
