ARC STEELHEAD & SALMON
ARC 1196/4
ARC 1196/4 is the first two-handed fly rod ever designed for trout anglers. This special rod allows the angler to develop spey casting skills while deploying an array of big water techniques on the local trout stream. Roll casting, spey casting, and one-handed overhead casting are made easy with this amazing fishing tool, and it doesn't take much of an imagination to figure the line mending advantages of a trout rod that is almost 12 feet long. In fact, this rod will probably double your fishing water, especially in aggressive wading situations where your reach and casting ability are limited. ARC 1196/4 is also a wonderful summer steelhead rod.
