11’ Spey Taper?

Re: 11’ Spey Taper?
#3Try the 11' Hardy Wye 7wt in the attached list of double handed tapers. I made one, although measured from a stripped rod under varnish, a pleasure to fish being both light and lively, although I hollowed mine. The Wye's were long noted as good casting rods rather than mere 'line lifters'.

Re: 11’ Spey Taper?
#4I guessed a taper for a 4wt - 11' spey. I picked a slope that would be slow action. It was a little too thin to hollow. I started off with 200 gr but found that too light and use a 275 gr skagit head. I find it very slow and noodle like. I'm not a very good spey caster so take anything I say with a grain of salt
