WATER TYPE:

Your “Area 51”. The one stream you have to get away from it all and also where you might run into a 16-20” trout. For those medium sized streams where you need to throw hoppers, drakes, hendricksons, stoneflies, or any attractor a trout would want to eat. This is my headwater rod where I get some 20” Cutts and Browns.  

CAST RANGE:

25–55 ft. Balanced power for western freestones, drift-boat fishing, and larger dry-dropper or light streamer setups.

FEATURES
