This lightweight, fast action rod is perfect for local saltwater, salmon, and steelhead anglers. The two-piece configuration is particularly convenient, and keeps this rod light and crisp. SAS 909 is one of our best casting sleeve-ferrule rods, and is particularly well suited for throwing large flies under windy conditions. This is an excellent all-arounder, particularly for those who live and fish along the East Coast for striped bass, bluefish, or redfish.
