ARC STEELHEAD & SALMON
ARC 1409/4
This is the 9' 5-weight of spey rods. If you only plan to own one rod, this one can do everything. The ARC 1409/4 is plenty long and powerful to lift and cast heavy sinking tips, but is not too heavy to comfortably fish floating lines. This rod can land a fish of any size, and is fished religiously in every part of the steelhead and salmon world.
