Re-invented last year, this rod will fool you. Normally, the more expensive the rod the faster the rod, but not in this case of this moderately priced rod with a fast action. No I.P.C. so you don't get that extra little kick like you do with the Ultra. Nonetheless, a great rod for pushing out the bigger Dahlburgs and weighted Clousers and Buggers.
