Fly Fishing on the Lower Woodend Beat of the River Dee in Scotland with the Cadence Ian Gordon Microspey rod. The perfect Fishing Rod for the particular conditions in the video.


Although they have been described as switch rod, the Cadence Ian Gordon Microspey Rods are in fact small double handed rods. Most switch rods are single handed rods that can be used in the double handed format, Microspey are the opposite, Microspey is a proper double handed Spey Rod that can be used single handed.  

What is the difference? The main key differences are the handle configuration and the full action at all given line weights.  

We have 6 Cadence Ian Gordon Microspey rods in the range
#3-4 = 14g [230grain] @ 30’

#4-5 = 17g [275] @ 30’

#5-6 = 20g [325] @ 30’

#6-7 = 23g [375] @ 32’

#7-8 = 26g [415] @ 34’

#8-9 = 29g  [460]@ 36’

All have a full deep loading action. This not only helps with ease of casting but also playing fish.

Cadence Ian Gordon Microspey are wonderful for playing, and landing Grilse, Sea Trout and Arctic Char. In fact, they’re perfect for the job.  

This range of rods put the fun back into fishing for, hooking and playing small or medium sized fish. However, the 21 salmon season saw me land an 18 and 15 lb Salmon with the 7/8 version of the Cadence Ian Gordon Microspey.

They also perform perfectly when overhead casting whilst fishing in loch and lakes for trout or from a boat. They are firstly double handed rods that can be used for trout, grayling in tight areas where overhead casting is not easy or suitable. They can also be used for single handed fishing using long casting stokes to push flies through a strong wind.

However, the Cadence Ian Gordon Microspey are generally for the experienced double handed cast to have fun when targeting smaller fish. Or single-handed fishers who want to try double handed fishing.  

I was recently called by a friend of mine who happens to own several beats on the river Deveron, asking if I could help with something. His problem was he had lost the last 4 Grilse he had hooked. I quickly established this was because the rod he was using was overly stiff for the job. Grilse have notoriously soft mouths, so without enough flex/give in the rod, particularly when the fish is near the end of the fight and on a short line. After leaving him with a 5/6 weight 11’3 Microspey the next 5 Grilse, as well as a 12lb salmon were landed without further loss. Not only did he land all the fish, but the fun he had playing the fish was at a different level.  

The range covers fishing small overgrown streams with 3/4 weight and dry flies, to fishing an 8/9 weight with deep streamers on wider rivers and lakes. All Cadence Ian Gordon Microspey rods in the range have the same handle and guide spacing configuration, have 4 sections and come in a Cordura Tube and bag. All line data below assumes casting the rods double handed.  

Handle length -

Upper – 330mm
