I had wanted to get into spey casting for a while now, and dove in when an aquaintance had a rod for sale. I ended up buying a Fenwick HMG 14' 9/10, a nice reel and an Airflo delta long taper multi tip. Of course I did this before I began a modicum of research. I had 2 experienced spey casters cast this outfit and they both agreed that it was a european action, very heavy and not suited to the type of fishing I want to do (steelhead, salmon, medium sized river. I fish the American in Sacramento). Plus it needs a heavier line to properly load the rod, it may turn out to be a good striper rod (California delta).I understand that the CND 13' 8/9 Expert is an ideal beginners rod, but my question is, since I already have the 9/10 Airflo line and reel, what are your opinions on getting the CND 9/10 Expert?
