This rod is designed for those who appreciate the finesse of both drift-rig and hard-bodied lure techniques, offering a super-soft power multi-loading action that ensures optimal performance across various fishing styles.

The Drifter 832 draws inspiration from Ian's long history on the riverbanks, where he honed his skills alongside pioneers of Australian fishing.
