HP 886/3
* New for 2000
For the saltwater light tackle enthusiast, the HP 886/3 is the ultimate tool. In this rod, the legendary HP action is scaled down to deliver unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy, while retaining the power to battle the wind and fish in the saltwater arena. This "fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee" action also is perfectly suited for throwing large streamers from drift boats or skipping bass bugs into the deepest cover.
