Thanks, the new Clearwater rods drop January and March for the two handers.

The trout spey has been a blast playing with. Gets the swing itch with a 3WT

What line?

And forgive me for a minute while I ask an actual question, but there is something I have been wondering about. I’ve got this rod, it a Sage ESN 11’ 3 wt, older model. I fish it with a 5 wt line. It’s an awesome rod and I use for everything except what it’s intended for, because that’s for dorks.
My question is, how the fuck do they justify calling that rod a 3wt? I don’t get it.
Super fun rod though.

I have been running a scientific anglers Spey lite 180 grain scandi head with a 80 grain 7 1/2' intermediate poly leader for swinging wets and small streamers. For bigger streamers (still really small compared to today's standards) and deeper runs I have a prototype 17' 230 grain skagit head with a 80 grain 8' sink tip.

You should try one of those SA skagit lite heads in 210-230 grain on your 3wt ESN. As for how they call it a 3wt I can't comment because I have not fished that rod.
