9' #7/8wt. Titan™ Blank

Another best seller and big brother of the 9' 5/6 wt., the 9' 7/8 wt. has the strength to battle larger freshwater species like bull trout yet has the versatility to capture smaller saltwater species like red fish. Great for trout fishing with streamers and smaller salt water fish like stripped bass, red fish, sea trout, and schoolies.
​
Perfect for the white knuckled angler who wants more power. Ideal in Alaskan rivers.
 
Paul Shultz Commentary:
"I really love this rod. I got it late, but I find that it casts wonderfully with my Bruce Chard #8 line. I have used it a lot in salt water, and some in fresh water. It was my go to rod on my two trips on Alaska’s Kanektok River where we were catching good sized rainbow, dollies, grayling and occasional salmon, a little small for the salmon. This I think would be a little large for NZ fresh water. I usually use a #9 Bruce Chard line on this rod, but sometimes use an intermediate line with it.
 
Note that this product is a blank and is designed for rod builders to customize with their own guides, butt sections, etc.
