What is a spey rod?

A lot of people have been talking about spey fly rods these days. They are a fly rod made to be able to access fish with a long cast giving you a better presentation to the fish as well. Usually a spey rod has much more length and can take more skill to be able to use well. Their lengths are usually between 11′ - 13′ and are usually used for larger fish although I don’t see why you couldn’t use them for smaller varieties (not as much action though). If you would like a rod to be able to reach out and touch the fish at farther distances, give them a try and add them to your quiver of fishing gear, many others have and have found great results.
