[jakeroth]

Awesome. I shook the welding tree last week and 300 bucks fell out. I’m gonna look at that rod for sure. Thanks for the heads up!!

Good day, I tried a bunch of "spay rods" from E-bay, I was just learning to cast spay. They do work, they are heavy and somewhat cumbersome but they do work. At the point of frustration and where conditions were good, I would cast it with both hands like a fly rod, and holy crap can they throw line! It was fun and I was not too worried about braking rods.

Awesome video! Wish I saw this video sooner. I had a Redington chromer that I busted in half the third cast I ever attempted. These would have a better option while learning.

Love this channel. Down to earth and real knowledge. Great casting thanks

Got to love budget finds....I got to check them out when they become available again!

Do you ever fish for spring Chinook on the west side rivers like the Clackamas? If so, do you have a rod recommendation for that kind of fishing?

Hi my friend 😁
As I'm have say before you dont cast whit how much money you put in. The IM6 blanks are okey hard find a poor one. Taper of a blank is important sure. And technique is the most important! I have show that before many times.
I use a cheap China made Toray IM12 blank who cost me 46$ and it come whit 2 tips as well!
And it's a fast action rod and heck it cast as a rocket trust me ! So as many people dont know is now those days most blanks are made in Asia.
And they are good on carbon fiber material.
So love you bring this subject up because its silly today have the fishing stores actually push for the experience rods as beginners.
I say buy a medium price rod to start whit! Because those are so good those days. And as progress comes on upgrade.
Next first rod make the outcome what next rod will be. Best regards from Sweden Scandinavia 🇸🇪

Had a thing called a z pey I think you should develop a rod extension to add on to single hand rods . I bet they are all kinds of action that could be found in all sorts older rods for trout Spey and switch

[jonmiller]

Ever had any experience with Maxcatch Skytouch rods? I believe they are switch and Spey and cost roughly 100-120$.

Just found your channel. Loving the content. I just bought a cheap rod on Amazon based on your review here. I want to get into 2 handed to be able to cast further when no back cast is available and I want to be able to cast overhead on the beach. I bought an aventik rod with these stats., 13’6” LW8/9, modern shortened double hand design, classic fast spey rod action, excellent power transfer with great accuracy in spey casting. Great rods at affordable price.
Any advice on the head, running line I should use?
Rod is 13’ 6” 8/9 weight. Thanks in advance for your help.

That’s a solid deal. Hopefully, they come back in stock.

[bsdgffishtuna]

no more $40 spey rods i can find..nice vid..thanks

[kantill]

This would be great to learn on, I hope they come back in stock soon. Maybe post the link anyways that way we can keep an eye out ourselves.

[Avicados]

I throw a 325 groove on a 71010 switch, you think that rod might be a little more al dente if you stepped down to 250 or even a 225 groove?

By the way awesome video!

[RC-fptl]

This is great to know, thanks! Because of you, I've just ordered a 12' 6/7wt blank for a couple bucks that I'm going to learn to build rods with! Any suggestions on the cork shape/which spey rod has your favorite cork shape?
Thanks!

[Taylor_in_Southern_Oregon]

Thanks brother, you bring hope to us who are tight on $$. Won't lie, I'm disappointed there's no link at the moment, could you say the brand and model?

[DonohoeDSc]

Different question...what reel are you using for the demo?

[laukei]

hi Tim. Another great one!
The problem with those Chinese super deals is not the quality. Their manufactures make rods for the whole world, including very high end products. They know how to roll a carbon prepeg into a fine blank.
No, the problem when you give them your money is the society model you support. And when you look into it you might learn some really nasty stuff. But apart from that, the blanks and the rods are fine, and offer a value no one paying western labor and taxes could ever match.

[chrisroberts]

What rod is it? You never say and it’s not in the description 🤷‍♂️
