It looks like you’re referencing two different fly rods:
1. Tiemco Fly Rod – Tiemco (or TMC) is known for high-quality fly fishing hooks and accessories, but they don’t typically manufacture fly rods. You might be thinking of T&T (Thomas & Thomas) or another brand. Could you clarify?
2. Orvis Clearwater Spey 2S76 12’6″ 4-weight – This is a well-known two-handed Spey rod designed for overhead and Spey casting.
– Model: Clearwater Spey
– Length: 12’6″
– Line Weight: 4-weight (ideal for smaller rivers, trout, and light steelhead fishing)
– Action: Moderate-fast (good for smooth Spey casts)
– Price Range: Mid-tier, great value for entry to intermediate Spey casters
Key Features of the Orvis Clearwater Spey 2S76:
✔ Versatile – Works well for Scandi, Skagit, and overhead casting.
✔ Lightweight – Graphite composite construction for smooth performance.
✔ Great for Beginners – More affordable than high-end Spey rods but still high-performing.
Common Use Cases:
– Steelhead & Trout (smaller rivers)
– Atlantic Salmon (light setups)
– Switch Rod Alternative (if you prefer a longer rod)
