The handle is designed extra long past the reel seat for better balance and leverage to reduce fatigue while bobbing all day. This rod is extremely effective for chasing pike and salmon as well.

Hyper Modulus fast action blank balances well with jigs, swim lures and spoons up to an ounce and a half. Rod action designed and recommended for inland water with presentations that are less than sixty feet.
