This is a great series of rods, quick & light in hand. Once I discovered this series I sold most of of my other rods and now have 2 4wts a 6wt and and an 8wt in this series all 9ft 4 pieces. I use the 6wt for warm water fishing where bass catfish and carp are always in the mix withthe blue gills and crappie.The 6wt was also ideal for seatrout in saltwater.
