The Drifter ‘Stream’ is our lightweight mid-length spin rod designed from scratch for Aussie freshwater applications. The action is super smooth and perfect for lightweight finesse fishing. Suitable for all types of lures from small spinners to crankbaits, jerkbaits, micro swimbaits and topwater, this rod fires lures such as a classic 7cm floating minnow like a bullet, yet also has pinpoint accuracy due to the easy loading tip action. Blank construction is the new ‘Armour 40-5’. This all new blank technology is the ultimate in blank reinforcement – the optimal solution to create a more robust blank while maintaining the Millerods benchmarks of lightweight sensitivity! The handle of the Stream 662 is quite short which positions the reel close the butt end of the rod. This creates more effective tip length, allowing the rod to perform like a longer rod. It also means that the rod handle is more easily manoeuvred and won’t catch in long sleeves. With that great feel that cork brings, the reel seat comes easily to the hand, reel seat body fitting ergonomically in the palm while the carbon locking hood helps transfer energy through the casting stroke. Minima guides have been selected for this rod as they are the lightest guide available so a double foot frame can be used a stripper guide and don’t have a ceramic ring that can be damaged when walking through the bush. Minima guides also allow for a very small size to be used on the tip section yet the ID of the ring is not too restrictive to line flow. And the guide train is so light it doesn’t have a negative impact on the rod balance and sensitivity. The custom Millerods anti-tangle hook keeper finishes the guide train and allows for lures to be easily stowed when walking between casting positions. Whilst primarily a freshwater-oriented design this rod suits all applications requiring a mid-length light spin rod for fine lines and small lures. Suitable for use with nylon lines, fluorocarbon lines and braid/leader combinations via the FG knot.
