The new Platinum spey series from Beulah offers the two-handed angler an exceptionally well-made rod at a very acceptable price. These rods are extremely lightweight thanks to Beulah's "carbon scrim process", making casting very comfortable and nearly effortless. The Platinum spey rods excel at throwing modern skagit and scandinavian shooting heads due to their more traditional flex and amazingly "crisp" tip recovery. Matched with Beulah's Tonic and Elixir shooting heads the confusion of rod/line matching has simply been done away with. Silver Creek Outfitter guides recently put the Platinum 13'2" 7wt to work searching for winter steelhead on coastal rivers across the Pacific Northwest:The 7wt Platinum is an ideal skagit casting spey rod. The rod loads deep and sends heavy flies strapped to sink tips with ease. Lined with the 485 Tonic head this rod takes well to 129 grain 15 foot RIO sink tips, or 9-13 foot sections of T-11 or even T-14. The 540 grain Tonic head is also an option for those who prefer a deeper load on their rod. In addition to performance, the Platinum rods are very attractive. The cork design is unique and of the highest quality, while the dark grey graphite of the rod evokes thoughts of cold winter steelhead streams.
Swing by Silver Creek Outfitters and take a look at our new Beulah Platinum spey rods, the perfect tool for any medium to large anadromous fish rivers in the Pacific Northwest.
