Its interesting reading all the comments on Spey rods here in the USA, the makes seem completely different from Scotland where I'm from.
In Scotland I would guess the three most popular Spey rod manufacturers would be Bruce & Walker, Diawa (made in the Scottish factory) and Hardy.
My own favourite is the Diawa Altmor with the Bruce and Walker Powerlite Deluxe a close second.
I moved across from Scotland last year and am looking forward to trying some of the other US makes. Fishing tackle here is much cheaper than in the UK as well.
