st croix i piece rod St. Premier Spinning Rods SCPS70MHF cure finish provide added durability St. Croix Technica Fly Rod

The main reason for this is on the cast, compared to say a match reel the coils coming off the spool are a lot larger which in turn means more line being taken off the reel and as it is free running a lot quicker too, this will allow you to cast longer distances and cover much more water, because the marker is the rod that needs to cast the furthest the big pit reel makes it less tiring which is always a bonus

Now for the bad news

Believe it or not, this ranked 3rd for me among the 3 weights

I remember when they stopped making that feature and my husband was so upset."could not agree more, if you've never fished with the castable trigger your missing out on easy fishing and the rear drag fighting system....if you have a big fish and you know it ,its an awesome feature, but this is the real reason why I like shimano(pics) and i know i had a T2000 somewhere around here but knife lake in the spring might have retired that reel

Rod action The action is perfect for fighting almost any species of salmon and steelhead
