I don't see this excellent rod maker mentioned anywhere here.
I strongly would recommend you guys over there to try the new B&W spey caster Parabolic series which come in 13, 14, 15 and 16 footers. I in particular favour the 15- and 16- foooters. Those are true parabolic action rods with a beautifully strong "english" tip. Due to this the rods have a very deep action but at the same time: Due to high psi material used the rods have an astonishing short stroke length with very little overshoot. We have been test-casting the rods and with long triangle tapered lines like Lee Wulff's, SA's XLT and Rio's Grand Spey. The rods perform just wonderful with these types of lines and the parabolic action act as a true and blasting afterburner propelling the line into distances you would not believe were possible. We have been testing the rods for some time now, and are constantly producing spey casts under calm conditions of 43-50 meters. The rugged tip also make the rods excellent and superior in pulling long sinking lines out of the water, by using the technique of Jim Love, superior Scottish double spey caster being a specialist on sinking lines. This must definately be something for the westerners fishing for kings and steelheads.
