Hey there ChickenFoot. Welcome aboard. I'm glad to see another shrimp flipper out there.
I use the spey casting for most of my surf fishing too. It seems to be a better technique because you can change up in the middle of a wave and still have control. It is also helpful to counter some of the offshore breezes that tend to hinder conventional fly casting.
I use a 9 foot 10 weight especially when I am trying to Big Game it with the Salt flies. The Reds sure fall into that category and can use up just about every inch of backbone that you can provide with that weight class of rod.
I hope you stick around for awhile. You are welocome to stay as long as you like.
What kind of flies do you use over there??
I use the Rustic Shrimp in various colors as well as Zonkers, Clousers, Sand Crabs, Ghost Shrimp and special Minnows. It all depends on the species that I am targeting over here on the West Coast.[cool]
