Information

The blank

Three years of tuning each 4-piece section's power zone eliminates the usual action loss of a multi-piece rod, giving a wide release-timing window and a supple, resilient feel able to work heavy sinking minnows through the tip-to-belly section.

What it's built for

Hiro Motoyama's flagship stream bait-finesse rod, designed to be shorter and more portable than the 2-piece BST-HM and 3-piece BST-EXS lines that preceded it, for tight, brushy mountain-stream trout water.

How it fishes

At 4'7" and rated for 1-7g lures, the 47UL suits the tightest, most overgrown source-stream water where a short rod is needed to work under low cover.

The setup it likes

Pairs with a shallow-spool spinning reel on 2-6lb line, matched to spinners and sinking minnows within the 1-7g rating.
