Product Description
The Wright & McGill STL66S-3 Sportsman's Traveler Spinning Rod is a six-foot, six-inch, three-piece, medium-to-light rod that is great to take along on almost any fishing trip. They are designed to work everywhere you go, from Florida's Red Fish to Alaska's Sockeye Salmon, from Roosters in Costa Rica to Stripers in New Hampshire. And if you travel anywhere in the US for Walleye, Trout, or Bass, this is a great choice for your travel rod. This versatile rod is loaded with fish-fighting features and packed in a beautiful, leather trimmed case.
This rod is made from Kevlar--one of the strongest materials known to man. Used in body armor, performance apparel, protective helmets, and now in fishing rods, Wright & McGill designed this rod to battle some of the toughest fish on the planet. Wright & McGill exclusively use Fuji Alconite Guides for both their casting and spinning models. These guides utilized Fuji's "New Concept" guide placement system. These strong and lightweight guides are perfect for this application and will provide the durability needed to fight the strongest salmon or steelhead that swim in the waters of the Northwest and upper Great Lakes regions.
When you're connected to a hard charging salmon or steelhead, you'll appreciate the sure grip that Wright & McGill's "Palm Swell" provides. Palm Swell fills the gap created in the palm of your hand with traditional round handles. This rod also features the custom designed "Triangle" fore grip. This unique and functional design helps eliminate the natural rod twist that occurs under the pressure of heavy fish. To build strong, light, and sensitive rods, Wright & McGill uses a custom blend of high and intermediate modulus graphite and chemically binds this with the Kevlar in the butt section. The result is a rod that looks, feels, and performs great. This rod features a large, comfortable fighting butt that provides additional rod control and leverage, while making the rod more comfortable to hold, even after a long day of fighting all those fish.
The STL66S-3 features a 0.125-0.5 ounce lure weight, 8-14 pound line weight, fast action, and medium-to-light power. This rod also features a high-quality cork handle with a foam Triangle fore grip and a Palm Swell--eight inches long in the rear with a modified and smaller fighting butt and 2.5 inches in front of the reel seat.
