Overview
A tight, brushy small stream is the water this telescopic carbon fiber rod is built for, with three zoom lengths to match the cover.
Three lengths let the angler shorten up under branches and extend as the stream opens, and the low weight gives a responsive feel. It is a small-water tool, since wider rivers and larger fish call for a longer, stronger rod.
Who it's for
Backcountry and small-stream anglers who want a compact rod that disappears into a daypack. Anglers on big water need a longer, stronger rod than this one.
Pros and cons
- Three adjustable lengths
- Very light weight
- Compact when collapsed
- Small water only
- Collapsed length listed two ways
- Light power limits larger fish
Performance notes
Short settings improve maneuverability under overhanging branches, and the longer settings add reach once the stream opens. A light carbon fiber blank with fast action gives a responsive feel for delicate presentations. Light power limits the size of fish it can handle.
