Multiple world records, yet very affordable. IM-6 graphite rod, oversized snake guides, stripping guides, walnut reel seat insert, and a high-grade cork handle make this rod comparable to much more expensive rods. Outfit comes complete with Hobbs Creek™ aluminum large-arbor fly reel, Hobbs Creek weight-forward fly line, Magibraid™ backing, precision-tapered leader, and protective rod sock.
