I have a 9 1/2′ 7. It is the ultimate Great lakes steelhead rod and does it all for me. Roll cast, toss indicator/double fly rigs, streamers, you name it. Plus it is a fantastic large fish fighting tool. I hope you jumped on the deal.

Got me thinking about how nice a 4wt might be. The action is best described as fluid. Planning to build an Xi2 7or 8
