Hi John:I do have couple questions about that rod. In my limited experience, I felt that the same12lb test tippet is easy to be broken on the spey rod than the single hand. Sometimes, it broke before I felt the much pressure on the line. A guy in the local tackle shop said that was common issue of spey rod. Is it true that spey rod has less ability to absorb the sudden strike because it is heavy and stiff than single hand? The TCX is ultra fast action. Will this increase the chance to break the tippet?Thanks!YangOn Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 6:28 PM, John Bilotta <jbilotta@obassociates.net> wrote:

I knew I should test different DH rods to decide which one to buy, but just couldn't wait for next salmon trip.I also hooked up some king salmon on the TCX 7126 but didn't successfully land any of them. Compared to the xi2, it is very easy to break 1x tippet or the hook shank on the spey rod. The tippet broke before I felt much pressure. People at the fly shop told me that was common issue of the spey rod. I wonder if it is also because the TCX is ultra fast action and tip doesn't absorb much sudden strike?Anyway, I am formally became a DH club member now. So excited! Can't wait to try this rod in our local water. I appreciate if anybody can take me to potomac or the surf to test this new toy.Thanks!YangOn Sat, Sep 22, 2012 at 10:22 PM, Richard Lin <rlinpager@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm a big fan of the Temple Fork Outfitters Deer Creek rods. http://www.templeforkflyrods.com/products/rods/deercreek.html
The price is awesome, the warranty is great, and it fishes superb. The rod tube is super bulky for travel. That is the only draw back.

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!
