The Iwana has become a classic all-around rod at a great value. It feels very light-weight and precise. The progressive taper, ultra-light weight, and tip action provides for great battles, even when hooking the smaller fish. Quality and strength are by no means compromised, and landing large fish is not unheard of (8lbs mentioned on a forum thread!). If you are going to streams where 12 inch trout are trophies this is the rod. 12ft (360cm) rod specsNOTE: Due to the telescopic nature of the rods, and the fact that the numbers are rounded up to have a clean metric-to-English conversion, rod lengths may vary slightly from indicated.
