7/8 GrandSpey debuts at Seattle

Speybro · Feb 20, 2003

Hey Dana, Juro et al

Just a quick note to let you know I will be bringing the new GrandSpey 7/8 with me to the Seattle show. I will donate one to the Spey Clave booth for the raffle/auction, and then try and have a few with me for some of our key dealers there. The tips aren't available yet, but this is a start!

It has taken a long time to get this one right because of the lightness of the line and in trying to retain enough energy to handle big flies and tips, but this is a beauty!

See you in Seattle!
Simon

Hi Simon,
Do you still plan to attend the San Rafael show in California next week? Looking forward to trying out the Grandspeys.

Best regards,
Rick J

7/8 Grand Spey In So. Ca.

Simon,

Will you be at the Ontario fly fishing show March 8&9?

Simon,

I love the other GrandSpeys and look forward to throwing a cast or 2 with this new one. Thanks to you and Jim for doing all the development work these lines have required.

Thanks Simon!!!...I've been bugging Georgie since the time I first heard there was only 8/9's and above in the Grandspey that you folks needed a 7/8...for the 7/8 Derek Brown ofcourse!!

I CANT WAIT!!

Simon and 7/8 GrandSpey debuts at Seattle

Sure now that I have fallen in love with my new Mid Spey 7/8 with tips for my Sage 7141, you dare to bring out this hussy! :tsk_tsk:

Bob Pauli and I will see you in Marin this Sunday.

If you have a 7/8 GS loaner for a week or so, I would like to borrow it.

I will bring down my evaluation forms for the Grand Speys that I tested about two weeks ago.

PS

Are your classes filled up in Sacramento later this spring? I can't find anything about the classes on Kiene's website. What do the classes cost?

Should be a great replacement for the Midspeys for use on the Redington 7/8-12.5's. I will be waiting for mine to arrive in the mail!

As soon as Juro gets bak east and everything settles down we are going to have one of these lines up for auction. Stay tuned....

Hi Guys

I will be at Marin, but not Ontario. I hear there is a big pond at Marin and they have me doing a spey demo on the pond. Hooray, at last, somewhere I can do a demo that works....not like Seatlle where the demo had to be on carpet!

I will bring a 7/8 GrandSpey on a reel for anyone to try.

All the best
Simon
