NO! The rod in the link you provided has the handle "split" proportions very similar to a spinning rod. And is like most of the "noodling" rod pictures I've seen.
The one I have is MUCH closer to the butt... very similar to this: [url "http://images3.orvis.co.uk/orvis_assets/prodimg/SpeyRod.jpg"]http://images3.orvis.co.uk/orvis_assets/prodimg/SpeyRod.jpg[/url]
It (mine) LOOKS like (the link above) a Spey rod to me... but I was told - by "someone that should know" (but he only read my description) - that it was not a Spey rod; Spey rods would be even longer (14'-16') and heavier, and wouldn't say "spinning" on it.
