When you're pursuing summer run steelhead in tight quarters of coastal rivers and small streams, the shorter, light-action of the 982S is ideal. It effortlessly casts light drift baits and corkies with the minimum weight needed to work low clear drifts and pools. It's also provides a little less to deal with if you're fishing from a tube or pontoon boat.
