I've used this before with a pack-type graphite fly rod and a small Shimano spinning reel for trout and salmon up in Alaska. It works well if you can match a smaller-type spinning reel for the particular weight fly rod. I caught several trout and salmon in the Kenai River and a salmon or two in Prince William Sound with that outfit so I'm sure it could handle specks.

Good Luck! :usaflag
