The thought was for having a lighter two handed for smaller rivers and flies.
Plus I fancied making something.
So maybe lighter 'heads would be a good plan
as I want to stick with the two handed casting.
Would a switch rod be better than an actual spey rod though? Certainley lighter but easier to cast
So far I'm finding the longer rod easier to get on with for heavier lines.
If I went to a 7(irrelevant with heads I know) then does the same ring true
or is it necessary at all
As you are using small flies so can get away with lighter lines. Only ever fished like this with a single handed rod
But I can see how a two handed approach might feel more comfortable.
Might need to play first methinks
