This is a small, 1-piece, river drift and plug rod. It's designed to fish light bait rigs for drift fishing for steelhead and will handle the smaller salmon that often times occupy these waters as well. It's a nice rod for casting spinners or spoons. When the water gets low and clear, this is a great choice for back-trolling plug small lures like the #50 Hot Shots or Wee Warts. It's got that magnum butt to give you plenty of reserve power if and when you finally do hook up. Half the battle is having the right rod and the other half is being in the right place. We can't guarantee you?re in the right place, but we can guarantee you've got the right rod.
