Lureflash Highland Spirit spey line

[shedhed]

Has anyone had any hands on experience with this line? The prototype was included in a group test in Todays Flyfisher last year and got good reviews. The prototypes were 55' and 75' though in production they have made just one size a 65'. When released, TFF gave more good comments. at £45 it seems good value for good quality, the kind of area I'm in at the moment (until i get more proficient, then I become a full blown tackle tart)
Also, I know it's recommended that beginners start with smaller heads, but also do you have to match up heads with rod lengths, would 65' be too long for a 13 footer?(I'm talking Shakey Odyssey, again good value for good quality) Cheers all.

Useful to know. I have a friend with the shorter headed Snowbee 1D line, we've planned to meet up next month, so will be able to try out and compare.
