This rod has half pounder and summer steelhead in its soul. The tip is powerful enough to punch through wind with long belly taper lines, making stunning long casts for such a light outfit. The mending advantage becomes very apparent over shorter #6 rods. A more potent rod by comparison with the StreamDance 10' #6. Should you want to do some float tube fishing, it doubles as a leech and wooly bugger casting machine.

This rod is designed to handle big flies, size 2 and above, and is capable of pushing those large flies more than reasonable distances. It's also good for weighted flies and heavily weighted sinking fly lines. And if you're lucky enough to be fishing with Frank Moore on the North Umpqua, you may hear him mention it's the best all around large rod. Period.
