THIS IS OUR 42 LIGHT ACTION ROD IT HAS 8 BIG STAINLESS-STEEL GUIDES ITS MADE OUT OF SOLID FIBERGLASS IT HAS A LONG CORK HANDLE TO FIGHT BIG FISH. THIS ROD IS A GREAT ROD FOR JIGGING WALLEYE, DEEP WATER PERCH OR HOOKING IT UP TO THE SNAPPER OR AUTOMATIC FISHERMAN UNITS FOR PIKE, BASS WALLEYE PERCH OR HARBOR BROWN TROUT AND STEELHEAD. IT IS A GREAT ROD FOR BIG GAME FISH WHERE YOU WANT A LONGER ROD TO ABSORB A HEAD SHAKE OF A BIGGER FISH AND STILL HAVE CONTROL OF THE FISH. IF YOU GET THIS ROD FOR THE AUTOMATIC FISHERMAN, I WOULD LOOK INTO GETTING THE NEW 12 INCH TRIGGER TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE SYSTEM.
