Designed for big water, big flies, and big fish, the Mission Full Spey 13'6" 8-Weight is the rod you take to the storied waters of Europe, the Canadian Maritimes, Scandinavia, or Tierra Del Fuego. For a “big” rod, the 13'6" 8-weight is not at all overbearing and hard to handle. It performs effortlessly with both Skagit heads and Scandi lines. And despite its laid-back casting demeanor, it has the power to throw a long line and the backbone to handle big fish in big water.
