Spey rod / Switch rod saltwater advice

Looking to see if anyone can give some tips on rod/ reel choices for a two handed rod. Looking more toward a switch rod but would love to hear some advice!
Thanks, Cochino

Not expert my any stretch of the imagination, but I'd opt for the inexpensive route. Tim Rajeff's ECHO rods are sturdy and reliable and are often available on eBAY for much less than retail. You have to be patient, or opt for "last year's model" to get bigger savings - but considering this is likely to go overboard ... it is prudent NOT to invest squillions on this purchase.

The length of spey and switch rods means you'll want to rig it on shore, or rig and assemble in pieces while afloat. This can be treacherous if you don't have a line through all the guides, as you can inadvertantly drop a piece over the side when fingers are cold or a tramp steamer is about to ram your port quarter ...

Likewise on the reel. Don't spend heavy for something you might sink.
