Brookie2 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I was lucky enough to cast a few of the Pieroway prototypes that Brian brought to the clinic and must say they are very nice rods. I plan to be on the list to purchase once they are available. Thanks to Brian and Maxwell for a great spey clinic. Quote

pokerfish Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 tried the prototypes when you were in Calgary for the clinics. very nice. I especially liked the 10.5' switch. Is it still a 7 wt? and what line do you suggest? Tom Quote
Mikey Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Got to cast them as well at the clinic and can't wait for them to get here. They are truly awesome. Quote

Is it still a 7 wt? and what line do you suggest? Tom Tom, the 10'5" is a 'mini skagit' meaning it is primarily a small two hander that also single hands exceptionally well. 400gr works well on this stick for both overhead and spey. The 420 skagit compact is puuuurfect for two handed sink tip work-should call this rig the butter stick cause its super smooth. the 12' throws a 510gr skagit and is a lightweight 7/8, so far our best selling rod. Still have about 20 of these left at the early purchase price. B Quote
alhuger Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Pieroway Fly Rod co Whistler Spey Series ..just got the new prototypes and have to say they are pretty sweet. Will be teaching in Calgary all week, let me know if you want to come out for a cast I was lucky enough to fish the 13'5" 720 grain for a full day (thanks Brian). It's a *fantastic* stick. It can move a ridiculous amount of line (and that mattered where we were at the time) and play nice big fish really well. It's got plenty of strength so you can play large fish but still feel every movement or head shake on smaller fish. If your in the market for this sort of rod you should give it a shot it's got a pretty unique feel to it. I did not get to fish the 520 but if it's anything like the 720 I am buying one at some point. Cheers, al Quote
Brookie2 Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Just picked up my pre-ordered Pieroway Metal detector 12' 510 grain today......WOW, pretty sweet stick! Love the graphics also. I plan to give it a good test next week up on the Skeena. I had the good fortune of being able to cast this rod when Brian Niska came to Calgary in the spring and pretty much ordered one right away. Thanks Pieroway guys! Quote
Mikey Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Spent the weekend with the 10' 5" and all I can say wow awesome stick. If anyone would like to cast one drop me a line I have the 12' and the 10'5", you won't be disappointed. Quote
