Mike Kinney and Bob Meiser, two Pacific Northwest Spey casters, have designed a new line of Spey rods, the Deer Creek Series of two-handed rods. Temple Fork says of the Deer Creeks: "They have a unique progressive-regressive traditional action making them ideal for executing all types of Spey and Skagit lines. The blanks are a beautiful translucent dark amethyst color with fittings and components selected by Mike and Bob."
Schmidt staffer Jim Haeck recently purchased a Deer Creek rod. "Very quickly this rod became my favorite spey rod out of the four that I own."
