SJR842S Length: 7' Power: 2 Pieces: 1 Spinning Originally, we designed this rod to extend the range of one of our most popular 6-foot Spin Jig Rods (the 722). It shares the same power rating, but that's where the comparison ends. The 842 has a fast taper for long-range casts and the perfect blend of power and feel for deep-water jigging. When you sweep the rod, a lot of line moves - and that makes it a good choice for heavy-duty split shotting and light-duty Carolina rigs. It makes an excellent buzzbait rod if you prefer spin fishing over casting, and the 7-foot length aids in ripping minnow baits over deep-water humps and points. What's more, it handles wind and larger baits equally well. GL3 Graphite Available in spinning, casting and fly fishing models, the new look MAHOGANY blanks are made from out extremely popular GL3 graphite. It is a mid-range performance blank that offers a perfect blend of intermediate modulus fibers with a fairly high strain-rate. Born from improvements to our original IM6 blanks, The new mahogany blanks are a rich red/brown, combining a hint of tradition with a touch of class. They are substantially lighter and more responsive than standard graphite blanks, making them a great value for the level of performance offered.
