This is a rod that just feels smooth in your hand. If your an experienced fly caster and like a fast action rod, you'll love how this rod can push a clouser into a stiff headwind. Also, I would suggest this rod if you like to use a sinking line or sink tip. This rod has the power to pull that line up and out of the water. Great for heavier streamers and wind resistant deer spun bugs. "Some say fishing for smallmouth go big or go home".
