My shortest Spey rod is a 9' 10wt. It is best for handling some of the heavier flies that I tie. I do have flies in the 1oz range.
I like to use the Boomer line on that one because it allows me to shoot a mile(120 to 150 feet) on a single whip.
With my 13' 6" spey rod, it is barely a 9wt but has much better handling or the 1/2oz or smaller flies while fishing the surfline. I can use "Grained LIne" or just about an intermediateline with a slow sink rate.
