Thread: Thinking about Spey

    You need an argument to convince your wife? This one has worked very well for me and is pure truth:

    "If I buy all the rods, reels and lines I really feel that I need to be happy in this sport I could easily spend 8 or 10 thousand dollars. Or, I could start hanging out with my biker buddies at work instead. I think a new Harley runs about $25,000.00. I could probably finance that, don't you think honey?.....Honey???"

    prairiespey, either it will work or she will think, "THANK GOD, he's giving up fishin'. . . now maybe he'll get something done around here!"

    When I was single , I always asked the women the same thing ...

    "Would you rather have me hanging w/ 'fish-geeks' , or in a Bar somewhere .... w/ strange girls ????"

    You know the answer to THAT one - the lesser of two evils .

    Play this one carefully... sometimes it is easier to get forgiveness than permission. But you didn't hear it from me. Scott A2 spey are suppose to to be good, and reasonably priced. Scott LS2 is great!

    Stevie, I couldn't agree MORE.

    I started with an A2 (SAS back in the day), 13' 8wt, great rod.

    I advanced to the 12'8" 7wt ARC for smaller fish like half-pounder to adult steelies.

    I have had a chance to cast a couple different new Scott LS2 spey rods. I love them. Super light weight, quick actioned with an awesome feel.

    Scott makes a great spey rod.
