Beulah Classic Spey Rods

We can remember just a few years ago heading to any summer or fall Steelhead destination and in three to five full days of fishing seeing just a handful of Spey rods on any given river. Nowadays, take the same trip and you're more than likely to see just a handful of single handed fly rods donned by Steelheaders. At Beulah, blossoming into full blown two-handed Spey rods just three years ago seemed correct on timing and a natural extension of the “Switch” series we were about to unleash and change fisherman's minds about what a fly rod could be.

We have noticed one thing that all Spey fishing has in common over the last few years, that is; neither two manufactures nor fisherman can generally agree on anything Spey related from casting technique, to properly lining the rod etc…etc. We've also found that in the Spey game when you are chasing Anadromous fish you never know if you are twenty minutes or two days away from your next pull. It is all of these factors and questions about lines, casting technique, flies and what part of the water column best suits success that adds to the mystique, wonderment and thrill of fishing a two-hand fly rod.

The classic Spey is a basic series of two hand rods designed for ease of use by a world class rod designer. A multi purpose rod designed to throw a wide variety of lines. Made of proprietary IM8 Graphite.

Beulah Classic Spey Rod - 11'6" 6/7wt
$435.00
11’6” 6/7 Spey rod is the lightest offering in our Original series. Don’t let the length fool you, this is not a Switch rod (maybe an extension of) and our 11’6” has plenty of power down low and is one those rods in the industry that took many dedicated two-hand fisherman away from 14’0”, 15’0” and 16’0” Spey rods. This rod is a terrific choice for a go anywhere summer Steelhead rod, Alaskan trout Spey for swinging streamers to large Rainbow and crosses over terrifically for chugging “Wogs” for hulky shouldered Silver Salmon. This rod is a progressive taper and fishes best with Scandinavian and Skagit type two-hand lines. A blast working runs from your first three foot/tip line dump to casting 80’ of line with authority as you ease into the heart of the run.

Beulah Classic Spey Rod - 13'6" 8/9wt
$435.00
13’6” 8/9 spey: There are still many shops, owners, guides and shop employees that stand tough on the idea that a fisher’s first spey rod should be between 13’0” and 14’0” long. Even though the “Spey game” has drastically shifted towards shorter rods in the past couple of years, this is still a sound practice. Folks new to the two-handed rod will take a season or two developing the muscle memory and technique that differs from single hand fishing to become sound, efficient two-hand casters even in tough fishing environments. There is definitely forgiveness in length making this a great first choice stick. Many guys out there just feel comfortable and enjoy casting a longer stick. Call it old school, traditional, ties them to their non-Scottish ancestry…Whatever, tons of folks like casting longer spey rods which is o.k., legal and prudent! Our Beulah 13’6” 8/9 is a sound choice for a go anywhere medium/large to large size summer Steelhead stream and makes a terrific go to winter Steelhead rod.
This is a progressive taper with a fast action that excels with Scandinavian and Skagit line choices. With the extra length at 13’6” line choices also drastically open up with mid belly lines like Airflo Delta, Delta Long, Rio Windcutters and long belly lines like NextCast 75,85 and 95.
Use: This will be a great choice for all medium/large and larger size bodies of water for summer Steelhead, and an excellent go to choice for a dedicated winter Steelhead rod.
