Olympus
Wild steelhead are shaped by unforgiving expanses. Case in point: The rugged peaks of Washington’s Mt. Olympus and the rain-drenched 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 punishing conditions. The new Olympus Spey knows the program – designed to bring instinctual familiarity to the fish we cherish 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.

This rod handles heavy steelhead in cold, wet rivers with confidence. The fast action and quick recovery make casting precise even in windy conditions. I’ve used it on the upper Columbia and it performs consistently under pressure.
Melanie Morgan –
After years of using other two-handed rods, the Olympus feels more natural. The balance and sensitivity allow me to read the water better and land fish without losing control during long runs.
Christopher Butler –
Solid performance in rain-heavy rivers. The rod doesn’t bend easily and returns to the casting position quickly. A bit stiff for light fishing, but perfect for steelhead and large trout in tough conditions.
Leah Lyman –
I’ve cast this rod in remote rivers near Mount Olympus. It’s durable, responsive, and gives excellent feedback when the fish are fighting. The two-handed setup feels intuitive and reliable.
