About this piece
The Lupus 61S is a full model change that refines the cast accuracy and lure control demanded by modern native trout games. It inherits the supple tracking of the original Lupus while adding just the right amount of backbone in key areas, resulting in a rod that excels from tight headwaters to wider midriver sections. With a versatile 2-10g lure range, it handles everything from floating minnows worked downstream to heavy sinking minnows fished upstream.
