I like the feel of the 11' rod it was nice in your hand and as soon as I picked it up i was like damn nice wet fly rod then the tfo rep told me oh davy wotton designed it .I was like damn I think I might have found a new rod .I liked the long handle on the end to because you could cast the rod spey style . I just got to sit in on a class with rio's sales men on spey lines .it was very informative . He explained how to understand setting up your rod .Id think this rod could be cast as a spet with a wind cutter style line .
