Fly Rod 6wt, 12ft-6in, 4pc Lefty Kreh Professional Series Spey Fly Rod by Temple Fork Outfitters
The modern two handed rod has evolved into a much more versatile fishing tool than the Scots of long ago had in mind when they fashioned rods made of Greenheart wood of up to 20 feet long. Today the two handed rod is not only used in the tradition of Spey casting for Atlantic salmon, there are several very specific applications, as well. This lighter and shorter two handed rod is perfect for pursuing trout and overhead applications such as on jetties or in the surf to launch flies at a variety of saltwater species.
Okuma's large arbor design gives faster line retrieval for a single action reel. traditionally known as a specialty reel, large arbor reels have been fished by the specialists. With the introduction of the integrity, Okuma opens up to the world of large arbor fishing. The Integrity series features a uniquely patented, oversized stainless steel-based disc drag. This amazing drag has little to no initial resistance, with incredible high-end drag pressure. The drag is controlled by an oversized roller bearing, allowing for drag free retrievals.
ALC : AlumiLite construction incorporates Okuma's new aluminum body. Aluminum frames are very rigid and can withstand tremendous amounts of pressure and torque. These frames also provide for precise tolerances between moving parts for ultimate smoothness and durability.
Drag Free Retrieval : The Drag Free Retrieval system allows anglers to crank freely with no resistance by utilizing our corrosion resistant stainless steel roller bearing. This is a one-way roller bearing so the spool is only engaged in one direction. As soon as you spin the handle backwards you have instant drag engagement. By reversing this bearing in the spool, you can quickly change the handle retrieve direction.
Rulidium : This proprietary drag material offers a wide range in drag adjustment with precise high and low settings. These super smooth Rulidium washers reduce heat and friction for maximum performance.

Retrieve Information
If you cast with your right hand and retrieve with your left hand then you want Left Hand Retrieve.
If you cast with your left hand and retrieve with your right hand then you want Right Hand Retrieve.
Note: Some prefer to use the same hand for casting and retrieving by setting the hook before switching the rod to the opposite hand. This is perfectly acceptable. The important thing is that you retrieve with the hand with which you are most comfortable (fastest retrieve).
Backing Material Information
We will put 20# test Dacron backing material by 3M-Scientific Anglers on to your reel.
Be sure to select your retrieve (see above).
Standard Backing is built with advanced 3M technology that allows 3M to create small diameter backing without losing the inherent strength of the backing material.
Features:
Exceptionally thin material for more reel capacity
Low coefficient of friction minimizes wear on guides
High abrasion resistance
Colorfast
Extremely high visibility
Optional Spey Lines for this Rod and Reel
We'll spool up your reel to capacity and tie on the Windcutter Spey Line of your choice.
Be sure to select which retrieve you prefer.

Optional Tapered Leaders
A 6 lb. Test Mono Leader is Free w/ your combo.
You may select to upgrade to other leaders for an additional fee.
3X 6lb. 9ft. Monofilament Tapered Leader
RIO Powerflex Monofilament Tapered Leaders
Each RIO Powerflex knotless tapered leader is designed for superb abrasion resistance as well as high knot and tensile strength. The long butt design provides smooth turnover while the supple tippet gives the fly lifelike presentation. The graduated tapers have corresponding stepped butt diameters. Tapers are made with thick butts to turn over heavy flies and thinner butts for smaller flies.
RIO knotless leaders have a high tech "best maximum pull" ratio to orient the molecules in a linear chain. This means that RIO's leaders return to their original taper after a fight. The light gray color is the most neutral and integrates visually with any background for perfect camouflage.
All RIO trout tapered leaders have Perfection Loops tied in the butt section to facilitate changing leaders.

RIO Fluorocarbon Leaders
When stealth and accurate presentations are required for wary fish, the RIO Fluoroflex Knotless Tapered Leader is the leader of choice. The leaders are nearly invisible and feature superb knot strength, and abrasion resistance. In the tradition of RIO, the leader tapers are designed and extruded to exacting tolerances. Since Fluorocarbon is denser than nylon, the Fluorflex leaders will sink faster than traditional nylon leaders.
These leaders are a good choice for fishing chironomids and emergers in lakes.
