I enjoy shad spey fishing very much. The weather in Chico hasn't been cooperated with my schedule well enough to fish for the shad in the Sac yet. I hope to go out as soon as I kick this stupid cold. I like a spey rod when fishing for shad because I can cover more water and re-cast much faster than a standard single-handed fly rod.

Anyone here spey fish for shad?

How do you like the spey rod compared to a standard rod?
