Where Legends are Made
Wild steelhead are shaped by unforgiving expanses. Case in point: The rugged peaks of Washington’s Mt. Olympus and the rainforest rivers it feeds. Redington’s backyard proving grounds give us ample room to explore our place in it all. Especially when it comes to developing two-handed rods that push the possibilities in rugged conditions. The new Olympus Spey knows the program – designed to bring instinctual familiarity to the fish we chase and fisheries we frequent.
Take your two hands and double down on the type of fast-action, quick-recovering performance that opens the aperture to precision cast-work and controlling large, angsty anadromous fish. Born of Redington’s light, ultra-durable Nano Resin Technology, Olympus Spey holds nothing back. From grease resistance to high-stress casting, it’s built to perform in the most demanding environments.

Sonia MacDonald –
Fished in the Cascade rainforest and it handled the long casts and heavy steelhead with ease. The action is responsive and the rod feels balanced in both hands. Great for precision work in tight spaces.
Evan McDonald –
After switching from a traditional two-handed rod, I noticed a big improvement in cast accuracy. The recovery is fast and the rod doesn’t feel heavy during long sessions.
Blake Mills –
Solid performance in cold, wet conditions. A bit stiff at the tip when casting from a moving boat, but overall reliable and durable.
Trevor Parsons –
Perfect for anglers who fish in remote rivers with tight spaces. The fast action allows quick corrections and keeps the line tight when fighting fish.
Trevor Fraser –
A bit more expensive than entry-level rods, but the build quality and performance justify the price. No issues with durability after several months of use.
