I use this rod for both small streams and beach fishing. The switch between casting styles is smooth and the rod feels balanced. Great for different conditions without needing multiple rods.

The two-hand cast works well on open beaches. I’ve tried it with both small flies and stripers. It’s durable and responds well to different techniques.
