[VFB] Spey rod question

[Ken, Carolyn, Alex, & Hershel]

Hi all...   I'm hoping some of the people on the list will be able to enlighten me on spey rods.   I'm hoping to get one for next fishing season.  I'll be fishing mainly for silvers, chum, sockeye, and maybe some steelhead.   There are two rods I am currently looking at.   One is the Trident 149 3 piece.  It is for a 9 weight line and is supposed to be tip flex.    The other is the Redington Red Fly 14 foot 9/10 weight.   Has anyone on the list had experience with either of these rods.   The Orvis is normally more expensive than the Red Fly, but I have a line on one that is on sale.   Any other suggestions about choosing a spey rod?   Thanks Ken MacGillivray Whitehorse, Yukon
