I needed a rod with a stiff rod tip and enough connectivity to feel the take of steelhead in deep pools
FLY ROD: 9/10 weight, 9', 4 Piece, medium-fast action, IM8 matte black graphite. Has machined black aluminum reel seat, 7 long, Western style cork handle with compressed cork accent rings, 2 extension butt, two stainless steel stripper guides with silicon carbide rings, stainless single foot guides and tip top. Each section is 28.75 long. Rod weight is 6.0 ounces
A 6 to 8-foot radius net is usually the best starting point
Doubling these benefits by adding another blade to the arm is even better
Now, most of us are fishing within that 30-80ft zone anyway, so how much of that is really applicable is up to you
