Built for Serious Stillwater Anglers
The Drifter II combines a fast, powerful blank with a deeper loading action than many modern competition-style rods. This creates a smooth casting stroke that delivers excellent loop control while still generating the line speed needed for fishing in wind or covering large areas of water.
For anglers targeting hard-fighting wild trout, large rainbows, sea trout or summer salmon, the rod provides enough backbone to maintain control without sacrificing casting feel.
Advanced Helical Taper Technology
The upper section of the blank utilizes A.Jensen's Advanced Helical Taper technology, improving energy transfer and stability throughout the cast. The result is a rod that feels crisp, responsive and exceptionally controlled when carrying longer lengths of fly line in the air.
Premium Components
The slate-grey blank is complemented by matching grey wraps with silver trim. Premium Portuguese cork, PacBay Titanium Minima stripping guides, hard chrome snake guides and a beautiful aluminium and hardwood reel seat complete a rod designed to perform at a high level while maintaining a refined appearance.
