Quoted after order. Decline the quote and we refund in full.SteelyDeep is what happens when VARIVAS's rod workshop, Graphite Works, is told to build a four-piece that behaves like a one-piece. The DR is the deep-running model — a 6'12 blank cut with enough tip to work a diving minnow through current and enough butt to stop a good fish before it reaches the next log. Four sections pack to 57 cm, which is small enough for a backpack or hand luggage, and the joints are cut so the action carries through them rather than hinging at each ferrule. Eight guides. Rated no-sinker through to 35 g and nylon or fluorocarbon 0.8–4 gou, or PE 0.4–2 — a genuinely wide window that covers stream trout, estuary and light bass work off the same rod.
