Plenty of backbone to land bigger fish, but still a very flexible profile that protects tippets. Great big waters big species rod. I’ve used this to target Carp, Gar, and Bass in Texas. It handled those fish excellent. I’m looking forward to testing it on other big species now that I’ve moved out east (i.e. Snakehead, Striped Bass, Spotted Seatrout).
