13 foot 8wt..... 40 beans
I'm not sure that the cost of the cork alone would be covered by that

Whoa, that's a steal. I just ordered two, and didn't even mind having to pay for expedited shipping since I'll be out of town next week. Seriously, snatch up a few of these as backup rods if nothing else. For $20, they would make great Xmas or Birthday gifts for that not-too-special-that-they-get-a-$600-rod person in your life.

$20 deal is dead on the TLR
But, the Redington pursuit in the 8'6 and 9' 5wt configuration is reduced to $60

Do I want the 8wt Spey for $40? Rod is cheap, but extra spool, shooting head, tips, and running line are another 130. I'm wondering if my 6wt Spey with 385 scandi head can handle my salt water flies and stripers fine enough.

I went with the 8wt and one of their on-sale reels, but I am going to hold off on buying the line/tips/heads/etc. until I can actually afford it. It was just too good of a deal to not grab up.
man, i wish i could justify the 13' 8wt. I just dont fish enough, never mind fish the spey style....

What you think is best for saltwater spey rodding, the 8wt 13'0'' or the 9wt 14'0''?

They good good reviews as an entry level spey rod. I ordered one.
The 14; 9wt is only $50
Predictably sold out (the $20 5 weight anyway)... and I was just on there this morning hemming and hawing about picking up a 3 wt glass. Oh well, good excuse to pick up my first spey (or switch... or whatever that 13' 8wt is)... you could barely got the rod tube for that.
if you're talking about the CGT, i'd skip it, its too fast for glass...

Picked up the 13'0'' 8wt as a salt water spey for stripers. Now I just got to figure out what weight outbound short to put on it.....

Looks like this ship has sailed (or saled maybe). Checked again today and they aren't even listing the TLRs anymore, just the TLR saltwater rods which are full price.

They were gone at the end of the day it was dicovered. I went back to buy a spey rod just cause and they were all gone. I shoulda ordered it when they were there. Oh well.

Yeah, I was rushing most of the day to get all the information together to figure out if I wanted the 8wt and 9wt spey. Went with the 8wt for $40. I don't even think that covered the cost of the cork for the rod.
