i found that the poly jstu makes a longer more suple tip.... imho.. makes it harder for better/stronger turnover....... but if u chop a 10 foot poly u will have the meet of teh poly if u use the back half.... so it might help some..... i cutt a few feet off of my scandi head too get a stronger turnover... also helps too shoot your loop high so it has time too open up and straighten out before hitting the water...

u got 2 hands on teh rod hit em harder~! anotehr trick would be keep less slack in the line.. get a good mend but dont keep a ton of slack or allow your line too belly while in teh dead drift. i have found taht the spey lines are traditinally ment for swinging to they do no tride as high as some refular floating single handed lines so line control can be key!

lmao! this topic makes me laugh.. hell the only reason i picked up the spey rod last year and started tossing it on teh bow was too toss indicator rigs way out there and fish em.. steeleheading atlantic salmon and stuff too in the future but it was the idea of fishing nymphs way out that got me going... i do enjoy swinging and now love swinging flies too streamers n nymphs.. but i love indi fishin wiht my spey...... i dotn care if its not normal or traditional. i have a few friend who are against it and that is fine. i fish the way i like too fish and hope others do teh same wether it be the same or different.... i fish a loop goran andersson 6120 wiht a rio afs head i cut back a few feet off the tip.. i use my same nimpy set up after that only difference is the rod and line...

im not much on the info about greys and how they cast but form waht i understand is they are a UK company.. hardy owns them an di think they are the lower end of the 2 companies in some sence but they do seem too make some nice stuff. when i was working at wholesale i got too check out a few of the rods and reels they had in stock and the gear seemed nice.. had a few clients form teh UK the past few years who lov egreys products. hoep that sort of helps dude! any idea od the rod series? grx grxi or other?

rap lmao ...... how red is ur neck buddy....... u old people are hilarious. ignorance is bliss.. maybe teh stuff u see on teh tv nowadays and on teh radio within teh 2000's and late 90's BUT hip hop was created for social awareness... maybe u should listen too a few of the real people out there and understand they were teaching the youth about the bad things in life.... song were created too bring the community together..... this was more so in teh 80's 90's and early 2000s and it sitll goes on today..BUT the mainstream just dosnt see a doller value in it.. sad really........ but like i said old people make me laugh.... same with them gangbangers.. or more like the nowaday future wanbee's.. who think they are bangers but really dotn need too bang too survive because htey live in suburbia and have everything bought and paid for by there parents... live a good life and have no real threat from corrupt cops and otehrs trying too get them out of there system..... did u know one of teh first major gangs out of south central the "crips" were a group created too protect their community from teh corrupt cops, racist f*cks and otehr epople trying too demoralize and destroy there people because they were seen as less of a people by the counry they were brought too live in? it all changed from there when teh blood shot first but..... yes bangers are bad but u gotta do what u gotta do too survive and its not their fault that the government gave them the drugs(crack) wich was introduced after the vietnam war and guns too destroy ones people hoping they would kill themselves off..... and now it has spilled into our tv's and radios and is trashing all of teh youths minds.. face book, youtube and myspace etc... too lmao.. a way too keep in touch with (for me anyway.. family, friends, otehr flyfisherman etc.. yes communication is bad keep everyone in a box protecting the weak minds from teh outside world) keep on stereotypin eh.....

i woudl go with a opti stream, airflow 40+ rio grande or something a bit heavier like one of them lines.... i like the opti and airflow line the most out of teh 3 mainly because they two tone the head so it makes it easy too switch cast or overhand cast and shoot lien when theres no guess work were teh head is at
