I was initially looking for a light power, fast-action rod, and this rod is exactly that. It is feather light, and the action is fast/mod-fast which is perfect for twitching little jig heads tipped with crawler, or small spinners and spoons like I love to use for panfish and trout. It is soft enough to set a hook well on a bluegill, but firm enough to get in the occasional 2-3 pound smallie I'll hook from time to time. Could not ask for a better rod.

This rod is all I expected plus some. For fun a few weeks ago, I put two shrimp flys on and sent them down 450 ft for jumbo canary sea bass. It was more than capable and had some great feel when pulling up doubles. Put some fun into reeling up bass. I also use this for salmon off of a down rigger. Great all around inshore and limited off shore rod.

Bought for use on the bank and boat here in Alaska. Great for drift fishing, tossing spinners, and bobber. I mainly toss hardware with it, but have used it in all the above mentioned ways without fail. Lightweight, sensitive, and plenty of backbone to land salmon with confidence.
