{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Suggestions on my first DH rod

Yang - It's as if you read my mind.  I was thinking of asking the same question, and we've got nearly identical set-ups (7-wt. for steelhead, 9-wt. for stripers).  My main concern is finding something that could work in the surf/on the Potomac/up on the Erie tribs.  Is this possible?  I guess we'll find out.  I'm also curious about the appropriate line which might be able to function for all purposes.  The whole spey/switch/shooting head line system thing confuses the hell out of me.  And, like you, I was curious about capacity on my Orvis Access IV (7-9-wt.).

People have mentioned Rise Fishing Co. rods in the past, and they're supposed to be coming out with some spey rods in the not-too-distant future.  Their prices are fantastic, so I'm super-interested in what they're going to offer.  Those Sages look sweet, but I love saving $$$ (and trying out rods from various manufacturers).  Excited to hear some input!
