With plenty of backbone to fight big fish, this rod is at home in any situation where strength is needed, but larger big game rods would be overkill. With a medium-fast action this rod is at home on the flats for smaller bones and might be the perfect rod for schoolie stripers and blues. Incredibly versatile and remarkably affordable, the Clearwater 907-4 fly rod is an easy add to anyone's quiver. The new Clearwater Rod Series is not just a cosmetic facelift, but a complete overhaul from the ground up by our Vermont rod designers. Everything has changed except the value. It's still the best fly rod you can buy for the money, but with a significant upgrade in performance and looks in a comprehensive series that covers every angler from small stream addicts to Skagit slinging two-handers. Each rod was designed with a purpose-built profile and action to handle the kind of fishing the rod model would be traditionally used for, from medium-action small stream rods to medium-fast freshwater rods and fast-action big game rods.
