Have the 6/7
Fellas,
I have the Ibis 6/7 and really like it. It's strung with the Windcutter w/ tips and I feel it casts well. I am new to the Spey game and I use it on our small rivers here on the N. Shore of Lake Superior and for casting at the river mouths. I have been looking for a heavier rod to use out west and the 8/9 is at the top of the list becuase of my experience with the 6/7, plus the price is reasonable.
