A delightful light-duty fly rod designed specifically for fishing ponds and lakes for crappies, sunfish and bluegill. It doesn't come across as a power rod, but there's plenty there should you hook are larger-than-average prize and have to keep it out of the brush. It's an extremely accurate rod for medium-range casts in the 20- to 40-foot range and will hanldle a variety of shapes and sizes of flies. When the fish are close and you don't have a lot of room to fish, this 8-footer comes in mighty handy.
