Spey Rod: Beulah Platinum Spey Series 11'7" 5 Weight Trout 4-PIECE. A true trout spey rod: What a great idea! Beulah had a hard time wrapping their minds around the idea that a 5 weight spey rod needing 380-400 grain load was actually fun for trout. So, they created the newly released 11'7" 5 weight Platinum Trout Spey Rod! You'll find a sweet spot between 250-300 grains depending on your line choice. As Emeril would say, "BAM!" Now you're definitely having fun chasing trout. Fish Redsides on the Deschutes employing soft hackles on a floating line or small to medium streamer patterns with sink tips on the Yakima, blitz down to the Rogue, Klamath and Trinity later in the season fishing Half Pounders with the possibility of mature 3-7 pound Steelies. Truly a casting dream and a blast to fish, Beulah's new 5 weight Platinum makes a perfect trout spey, but make no mistake: It's ready for that surprise trophy fish! USE OF ROD: Half Pounders, Redside, Rainbow, Browns, Coastal Cutthroat and a light duty Steelhead rod from Alaska to Chile.
