We are really happy because we managed to reduce the distance between the butt cap and the reel seat, maintaining a balanced action. In this way you can easily use the rod from the belly, while the handle also suits the cast from shore. You can use in a number of situations, from trout fishing in river to black bass of course. In the end we cannot define it an allround rod, cause it is not, but a specific rod for high demanding anglers in demanding environments, whatever the fish you want to catch. Equipped with genuine Fuji guides and reel seat.
