Please convince me to buy a trout spey rod

Anyone just put a singlehand speyline on their single and speycast? That's what I do. I just don't like fighting fish on long rods. I also sold all my long spey rods and my longest is a "short spey" 12'3" and others are switch. I just have not found a situation where I have been undergunned without a longer rod but I have definitely felt my rod was too long. 3wt. 12' trout speys? I just could not bring myself to go there for those little fish.

All the time! Especially with winter steelhead. I love fishing that way.
 
Do it for the kids!

YOLO

Get busy living or get busy dying!

This is not the rod you are looking for..WAIT yes, it is..

Free the sea run cutthroat trout, from its wet cold existence!

Because hookers and blow have gotten so expensive!

Waltrous made me do it!

Because the correct # of rods is always one more!

Cuz you got a bonus!

Tax refund!
 
I going to start unloading all but one trout spey setups I compiled over the years. Picked up most of it from members on the board here. Just don't get out to use it much anymore. A nice ACR and a custom Flyworks rod that are nice 5-6wt sticks. Couple of Hardy 7000 DD's and whatever gazillion heads I compiled with them. But I do love throwing them. I'll keep the Redington 3 wt Claymore I suppose.
