This model was developed with the countless requests from international anglers who fish from smaller charter boats. With its short length and hard tip section, anglers will be able to enjoy maneuvering the large mouthed poppers to induce that bite. It goes without saying that the short length rod is also useful when fishing from the central section or stern of the small to medium size boats with the use of various types of lures including poppers/diving poppers, medium to large size pencil poppers and other diving pencils which require a more manual reeling type action. This short length also helps to cast out large lures with the repulsive force of the blank while holding up to massive loads during the fight. To give you an idea of the rod power, it is classed between the Reversal 80 and the Powerfight 711.
