Exposed reel seat

An ideal estuary rod for barra or chasing cod in the fresh this is perfect for short accurate casting with hard bodies and plastics

The 57 though will not be coming out with me often because of this: A previous owner had the brilliant idea of placing this hole right in the path the line takes as it leaves the spool during a cast, and when I fished it I could feel/hear the line getting caught in the hole with each coil of line leaving the spool

The drag is set and used properly can make or break you when attempting to land a trophy catfish

And the most important part to remember is the tightening of the braid coils on the leader before cutting off the leaders tag because that is what locks the coils in place for good
