* New for 2000
Choose this model over the 2-piece SVS 908 if you plan to travel. For serious saltwater or steelhead/salmon fishing, we recommend the more specialized rods in the Heliply, STS, Eclipse, and ARC Series, but SVS 908/3 makes a great backup rod for destination trips. This is one of our most popular Voyagers due to its terrific versatility. SVS 908/3 is ideal for largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, bluefish, redfish, sea trout, and even bonefish. Northerners will find this rod to be well suited for both salmon and steelhead fishing.
