Bob Clay Kispiox Spey Rod 12'6" 3/2 #8/9 8'2" The serial number indicates aA nice two handed Kispiox model fly rod from Bob Clay, 12'6" 3 piece, 2 tip spliced joint rod. I believe Bob lists this as being built for a #8 9 line. When mounted and taped this rod has a pleasantly crisp action (I could imagine Jonas, the Spinoza speycaster, throwing a nice Scandi line with this). Hollow built in a 2 up node construction. "Riverwatch", "Kispiox Valley 12'6" 100CB", and "06086" lettered on the butt section shaft. Made in 2006.
