BWC StR 865-2
$549.00
This winter steelhead rod provides the extra power necessary to fish higher water conditions and swifter currents. On average, winter steelies run larger than their summer cousins, so the extra backbone is a big advantage. Rated for up to 17-pound line, the StR 865-2 is beefy enough for small Chinook, but better suited for chums, sockeyes and cohos.
