Alec Jackson Steelhead Irons (the “Rebel” Edition) The black sheep—standard wire (light like its Spey cousins), but with a shorter shank, a different (straighter, Edgar Sealy-inspired) bend, and that signature drop point for sneaky penetration. Tapered up-eye, forged to perfection, but it’s the compact rebel that sets it apart: shorter than Speys (for snappier […]

This finish is all warmth and corrosion resistance, turning your spey into a sun-kissed […]
