Spey Rod Advice for a Newbie 16 Years, 9 Months ago  
Got a buddy down here in southern AZ who is gonna ask his wife for a spey rod for his upcoming birthday. He asked me for advice but I'm worthless on this matter and told him I'd post the question.

John wants to use the rod in AK for silvers up to about 15 lbs and steelies that will generally be smaller than 12 lbs. He was quite frustrated on our last trip when the silvers were rolling about 5-10 feet past his casting range.

He usually fishes fast rods and I think the max he wants his bride to spend is about $400.

What should I tell him, switch or spey? Which models?

I have no idea where the hell he plans to practice, but I have some videos he can borrow. We have a lake about an hour away, and there's real grass in our city park.

Gracias.

A steelhead fly fisherman needs two qualities:
A strong casting arm and a room temperature IQ.
