Beulah Spey Rods

[pendejo]

Any of you guys casted or own a Beulah spey rod?

I am looking for a dedicated 2-hander for fishing the Ontario and Erie creeks and since I already own a Beulah 7/8 switch rod, their spey rods caught my eye.

Problem is there is so many rods out there to choose from it's difficult to narrow down my choices so I am interested in hearing about the set-ups you are fishing on the local creeks and the pros and cons?

I already own a 6/7/8 WC w/tips and so am looking ideally for a rod that marries with this line and is capable of casting the fast sinking tips.

Thanks.

I have no experience with the Beulah speys rods or there switch rods. If your looking for a true spey rod for this area then I would have to say something between a 13'7 or 13'8. 12'8 weights are also a great rod as well but when you start to wade deeper they can sometimes cause you to get more line stick then what you want, especially with heavier sink tips. Faster action spey rods such as the T&T, Scott, or Echo 2, will allow you to be able to pick up very heavy tips with greater ease. The only thing with faster action rods is that they do require more attention to timing then slower rods. But it also comes down to matching the right line with the rod as well. Airflo's Delta Spey or their tip line is great for most larger waters in the area. Rio's outbound line is also a great choice if you want something a little shorter and more aggressive. I think that you will find that any of these lines will turn over sink tips much easier and with a tighter loop then the Rio W/C. Myself I like a 13'7 and have fished this rod from every rod company that we carry and they all have gotten the job done. I think the best thing that you can do is cast as many different rods as possible to find a rod that best suits your timing. Nick will be able to elaborate more on this.
