Im very new to spey fishing(in fact havent yet caught one on my spey--just on my 9 ft 6weight) but i'm really enthusiastic and poor. I got a Cabelas spey outfit in early Dec. with 13 ft 8-9 wt., large arbor reel with airflo weight forward line and backing for $320.00. That way, if I hate it, I'm not out a bunch of dough!So far, about 1 out of 10 casts "feels Right"
