in concept the spay is basically a way to cast with limited back casting room?
i going to try to get my feet wet with steelhead in this or the next season depending on how whether is. that being said i have another spot in mind that i would like to fish for shad and the once in a blue moon striper. in that case i don't think the swinging flies would be the best way to hook into the fish. at least not the shad. this may be a dumb question but can you fish a spay in the same nature as a regular fly rod? i would be looking to do more streamer fishing. lots of stripping.
for rods i think a switch would be better. i am looking at a cheaper cabelas one but might step up and go with a TFO or St Croix. id probably go with a 8wt rod. i have a lamson guru 3.5 which is rated for line weights that are 8/9. would that work for the rod?
thanks marc
