Type
Casting / Spinning

Salmon and steelhead series based on long-blank presentations on larger river systems and coastal tributaries. The target angler runs two-hand or extended-handle techniques, side-drifting, drift fishing, and float fishing, on Northwest and Great Lakes rivers. Both casting and spinning variants cover 8'6" and 9' lengths at identical MF action, making the series straightforward to compare across rig types. Blanks are 40-ton composite carbon fiber, contributing to lightweight swing weight over long sessions.

Component package includes premium Essex SiC guides with stainless frames, Essex or Fuji reel seat depending on model, and a custom cork handle. The 40-ton modulus provides sensitivity for detecting soft takes in fast current while retaining the flex needed to cushion hard runs. The series carries a manufacturer's lifetime warranty for material and workmanship defects. Sixteen models split evenly across casting and spinning in two lengths (8'6" and 9') and four line classes per length: the 5/6/7/8 suffix indicates power step from light (6–12 lb) to heavy (15–40 lb).

The 905 DS (casting, 9') is flagged with a double-step marker suggesting a specialty finish or guide configuration. No separate float or centerpin models are listed; all are conventional reel seat.
