I tried the Derek Brown 8/9 this weekend. With a TT Spey (Cut at 70 feet with a shooting line attached) I had casts on 177 feets on overhead casting (a friend of me casted 196 feet with some help of the wind conditions). The rod was one of the most powerful I have ever tried. Unfortunately I didn't got the oppurtunity to test it hard enough on spey, but we had speycasts of about 130 feets. The rods action was far different from other rods (mostly european styles) I have tried, but I definitively liked it, and are considering buying a rod in this style.
My question to someone who have tried both are how the CND Salar rod performs compared to the DB? And how is these two rods compares to each other on practical fishing? There is a weight difference of 1.76 ounces between the rods, is this a decisive factor between these rods?
We do only have one distributor on CND rods in Norway, so trying one before you buy is a little difficult.
