Studio DH13 Two Handed Spey Rod

Presenting the finest two-handed Spey rod

Studio Built™ Custom - Our premium fly rod offering. The pinnacle of craftsmanship and performance.

Each Epic two-handed Spey rod is a custom-tuned, advanced, lightweight, and highly responsive two-handed fly rod.

Titanium stripping guides, the best cork in the industry, Japanese silk wraps, CNC machined reel seat with self-locating hood, alignment dots and a handwritten inscription - this is a two-handed fly rod like no other.

3 Weights. One length. 6 Pieces.

After talking to expert Spey casters around the world a 13ft two-hander was clearly the most versatile and useful length for most two-handed casters. A standardized length across our range also makes line selection a comparatively easy task.

Weights:
Epic two-handed blanks come in 3 different weights/power configurations:
5 / 6 Trout Spey
6 / 7 Large Trout & Steelhead
7 / 8 Salmon & large Steelhead

Recommended Grain Windows:
5 / 6 Trout Spey: 340 - 420 grains. 
6 / 7 Large Trout & Steelhead: 420 - 480 grains. 
7 / 8 Salmon & large Steelhead: 470 - 530 grains. 

Convenience.

Feedback from travelling anglers told us that conventional 4 piece rods were too long to travel with, we took that on board and produce all our two-handers in a convenient 6 piece configuration. These big rods will easily fit in your luggage alongside a single-handed fly rod.

Our unique ground ferrule system means actions are precise and indistinguishable from a standard 4 piece rod.
