Description

DESCRIPTION This rod bridges the gap after our prized 12’6 S3, handling the same line weights but offering improved performance in both short-line control and distance. It’s significantly lighter, making casting effortless hour after hour. A joy to fish over long days and weeks, yet powerful enough to handle big fish in fast, challenging pools. Thanks to the enhanced S4 technology, this #8/9-weight rod will take over much of the fishing traditionally done with 14-footers, even performing with precision when using heavy sinking lines. We believe this will be an excellent choice for a first two-handed rod.
