Spey Rod: Redington-Chromer, a true fast action rod capable of busting out high line speeds. Great for anglers who’ve developed a taste for “Fast Action” rods. For the value, the Chromer is hard to beat.
Reel: Redington – Behemoth Reel Our number one selling reel “friendly priced” for steelhead. Practical, reliable and aesthetically pleasing. Balances well with most any rod.
Shooting/Running Line: OPST LAZAR LINE, most popular and our personal favorite. A running line that is virtually memory free, low stretch and super slick for longer casts hence the name “Lazar” line
Shooting Head: RIO SKAGIT MAX. A best seller. Our pick for a winter line most casters can use. Will throw the heaviest of weighted flies and sink tips.
Sink Tip: RIO MOW TIP. Offers a smooth transition from the shooting head to the fly. Great for turning over bulky and heavy wind resistant flies like intruders.
The Full FULL MEAL
CHROMER 8126 – This is a hot stick perfect for tighter quarters or smaller rivers. We opt for the 12ft 6inch rods on smaller rivers or anywhere there might be tight brushy areas. We use the 8126 for rivers like the Klickitat, WA. Or North Umpqua, OR. or one of our many coastal rivers here on the OP. We have fished the 8126 personally and can testify to its surprising ability to chuck lines at impressive speeds and distance. Good news is if you find yourself fishing a larger river you won’t feel completely undergunned.

CHROMER 8136 – This is our ultimate winter steelhead rod. The 13ft 6 inch l
ength goes to work for you on a mess of big n’ nasty intruders and burly sink tips, (because of the length) greater mending capabilities and of course, will cast further than the shorter 8126. If you plan on fishing larger rivers in places like B.C, on the Hoh river, WA. or if you might find yourself dredging for fall Chinook in a heavily glaciated or muddy run off river than the 8136 has the leverage and knuckle to get it done right!
