Vagn The "traditional" spey rod has a more progressive somewhat slower action than the "European" spey rod which is stiffer and used with the newer developments in fly lines especially shooting heads e.g especially in Norway. Originally, most spey casters used double taper lines, but this has changed with modern line development.
My preference is the traditional style as I'm not casting for extreme distance. Nev Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C.
