A light-duty mooching rod designed specifically for small salmon and steelhead in the bays and river mouths o the Northwest, Alaska and British Columbia, as well as the Great Lakes. The handle features a long fore grip and a short rear grip for use with single-action mooching reels. While it is basically made for trolling or mooching, it will work equally well using standard drift gear or float rigs and a center-pin reel for steelhead.
