The Wright & McGill HDR86S-2 Heavy Drifter Spinning Rod is an eight-foot, six-inch, two-piece, moderate-to-heavy rod. Winter brings strong runs of big Steelhead to the Northwest and Great Lakes areas, but winter storms will also bring bigger water. It is in these types of conditions that you'll appreciate the Heavy Drifter. This nine-foot powerhouse will easily handle any Steelhead or Salmon you're lucky enough to hook. The easy casting tip section and magnum butt section make this a great rod to fish any time, but it is especially well-suited for the big water times of year.

This rod is made from Kevlar--one of the strongest materials known to man. Used in body armor, performance apparel, protective helmets, and now in fishing rods, Wright & McGill designed this rod to battle some of the toughest fish on the planet. Wright & McGill exclusively use Fuji Alconite Guides for both their casting and spinning models. These guides utilized Fuji's "New Concept" guide placement system. These strong and lightweight guides are perfect for this application and will provide the durability needed to fight the strongest salmon or steelhead that swim in the waters of the Northwest and upper Great Lakes regions.

When you're connected to a hard charging salmon or steelhead, you'll appreciate the sure grip that Wright & McGill's "Palm Swell" provides. Palm Swell fills the gap created in the palm of your hand with traditional round handles. To build strong, light, and sensitive rods, Wright & McGill uses a custom blend of high and intermediate modulus graphite and chemically binds this with the Kevlar in the butt section. The result is a rod that looks, feels, and performs great. This rod features a large, comfortable fighting butt that provides additional rod control and leverage, while making the rod more comfortable to hold, even after a long day of fighting all those fish.

The HDR86S-2 features a 0.375-1 ounce lure weight, 10-17 pound line weight, fast action, and moderate-to-heavy power. This rod also features a high-quality cork handle with a Fighting Butt and a Palm Swell--13.5 inches long in the rear and two inches in the front of the reel seat.

We only use FujiTM Alconite Guides for both casting and spinning models utilizing Fuji's "New Concept" guide placement sytem. These extremely strong and lightweight guides are perfect for this application and will provide the durability needed to fight the strongest salmon or steelhead that swim in the waters of the Northwest and Great Lakes regions. When you are connected to the "business end" of a hard charging salmon or steelhead, you'll appreciate the sure grip that our exclusive "Palm Swell" provides. Whether you are using our spinning or casting models, the "Palm Swell" fills the gap created in the palm of your hand with traditional round handles. All fore grips 3 inches or longer feature our custom designed "Triangle" fore grip. This unique and functional design helps to eliminate the natural rod twist that occurs under the pressure of a heavy fish.
