The METHOD is truly remarkable, the fast action of this rod accompanied with the overall weight and ease of use has allowed my clients to fish longer and more productively which ultimately means more fish to hand. The length coming in at 12 1/2’ is an ideal fit for two handed casting from a boat, this feels to me like a perfect hybrid between a switch and a full Spey. The METHOD is a true workhorse allowing me to tie on the heaviest tips and flies (up to 15’ of T-14 and large dumbbell-eyed flies) while running intermediate lines, but at the same time is not too much rod to run a floating line and slow sinking tip. I have yet to find a situation where this rod has not performed flawlessly.
