So if Skagit isn't appropritate for a BEGINER (though it may very well be) what would you recommend as far as a rod (length, weight action) and Line system that would be the most versital, easy to learn, and effective for a novice great lakes spey fisherman fishing the swing. Let's say Mr. (or Miss) newbie has a wife and family, can't drop mad cash on 15 rigs and needs one to get the job done most of the time on the many rivers he (or she, gotta be PC!) fishes the 10 days a year on the river.
My short answer would be a 13' foot 7-8 wt with either a Windcutter size belly or a skagit head. I don't think casting one is harder to learn to cast than the other, and both offer a great deal of versitility. Any other opinions? :chuckle:
