Redington Claymore Trout Spey Rod
The CLAYMORE Trout Spey Fly Rod is designed to handle any trout river. This fast action rod was built using a smooth yet powerful blank that progressively increases as you move up in line weight. This progression allows for intuitive casting while providing the perfect combination of power and feel. With features that include a down locking reel seat for balanced and Polymer Pinch Grips for increased line control, the CLAYMORE makes casting a two-hander more enjoyable and less like you’re swinging a medieval weapon around. So go ahead, grab on with two hands and enjoy a day swinging your favorite run.
The 4116 CLAYMORE Trout Spey is built for the two-handed caster wanting to throw heavier flies and light sink tips to larger trout. The extra power and length are ideal for long casts and consistent performance on fast-moving water.

I’ve used this rod on several trout rivers and it handles heavy flies well. The two-handed casting feels smooth and the grip provides good control. It’s a solid choice for longer casts on fast water.

The rod is strong and responsive. The down locking reel seat helps with balance, and the polymer grips give a better feel than traditional ones. A bit long for smaller streams, but great for open rivers.

Perfect for my favorite two-handed fishing trips. The action is fast and the power is just right for taking larger trout. The line control is excellent, especially when using sink tips.
