Well, we're closer to "50-50" now with the nod to 2 handers. But, there are time (when you actually have to fish REAL close in where a spey rod is a pain in the butt. (Thinking the Rogue river and a few pools on the North Umpqua here)

Short casting is not a spey forte', but what the heck, that's why I've always got three or four rods rigged and in the auto .. one's my 10' 7 wt Sage XP .. usually lined with a sink tip.
