Brand new forum member but long time PNW spey caster. Just getting into the trout spey gig after many years of chasing steelies with the long rod.
For anyone who owns or has cast the ACR Nova 2, what are your impressions? I'm looking for a rod that leans more scandi line than skagit (although would be nice if it could do both well) in the 3wt category that will be used on rivers like the Deschutes, Henry's Fork and Mo. The rod will be used to throw smaller leeches and soft hackles. Right now, I have the Echo TR2 in 3wt., which I love. I like a 270gr Skagit Scout and 270gr Skagit Lite on that rod.
Gary and company look like they make great rods so it would be nice to hear from experienced users of his sticks.
Cheers,
BFR
