The Batson 1562 maxes out a little too easy for larger fish. I've been thinking 8wt range from a spey blank, but I keep having people tell me about using Sage 6126's, and a 6wt spey blank just seems too soft in the back end. A Sage One 8126 or at the least the 7126 seems like the most suitable option.
