Well they do make 16's.....

I would love to try big bluefin in NS on the fly one day, bet not many people do that.

A nice 15 foot competition spey rod in the 13-15wt class might be sufficient! ahah

I'd just take a 9/0 or 10/0 octopus hook tie on a long length of yak and some flash, maybe add some eyes.
