About this piece
The Alexandra is a flat-side twitching minnow that redefined upstream presentations. Its backslide weight setting and level fall posture allow pinpoint casts into tight pockets, while the irregular action provokes strikes with minimal rod movement. Built for mountain streams, it excels in delicate yet aggressive finesse games.
