A.Jensen Drifter II 9'6" #6 – Maximum Fly Line Control on Stillwaters
The A.Jensen Drifter II series was designed for maximum fly line control throughout the cast and during the retrieve or drift. The 9'6" #6 model is an ideal choice for stillwater fly anglers targeting rainbow trout from the bank or from a boat, where accuracy, distance and controlled line handling are essential.
The Drifter II combines a fast action with a slightly deeper-loading blank, giving it an excellent balance of control, feel and power. This model is especially well suited to buzzers, multi-fly setups, washing line techniques and smaller to medium-sized lures. During the fight, it retains enough flex to protect tippets while still offering the reserve needed for stronger stillwater trout.
