››Good starter rod

I am quite familiar
with the Classic model
spey rod, I own 2 of
them. This is what I
would call a simple
and budget minded rod for those want
to get started and still have a couple of
dollars left over. The 6wt is a med-fast
action rod and handle most of todays
spey lines with no problem.

››Smooth sailer

This rod loads deep
and casts smooth. At
under $300, it’s the
lowest price rod in
our group. I highly
recommend the Classic 6126 as a first
spey rod for someone who is looking to
dabble in the two hand game.
