This
series of parabolic rods are slow but very powerful fishing tools.
The 8'6”
and the 9'3” have become my favorites for fishing big dry flies on
our often windy meadow streams.
The 9' line #8 with a small permanent extension butt is intended for sea trout and
pike fishing but I am sure it will be excellent for fishing steelhead too.
When
held in the hand these rods will feel a little tip heavy because parabolic rods
have more material in the tip section then semi parabolic rods, but
once you cast with these rods they are very effortless to fish with.
These
rods have great potential for roll casting.
