A slightly more powerful casting rod designed for fishing the flats, the PR844 is a good choice for a number of different species. Works well with the live bait, but casts spoons, soft plastics and jigs equally well. It is a fast action rod, but leans towards moderate a bit, making it a good rod to wear down the larger fish quickly. It has sufficient power to handle large permit or jacks out in the gulf, but it's better suited for shallow water. GL3 offers a good blend of sensitivity and light weight.SPECIFICATIONSModel Number: PR844C GL3 Rod Length (FT): 7'0'' Rod Handle: BRod Lure Weight: 1/4-5/8Rod Pieces: 1Rod Line Weight: 8-17 lbRod Action (US): Fast
