It is 1-piece, 6'6" heavy action, with a killer open reel seat, 12 lb. test line, 2-3 lb. drag for starters on a Viento reel makes this a killer combo! It has caught many smallmouth and largemouth bass, but no stripers yet, but I have faith that it would hold up just fine under a striper hit. Although I had a friend slay 'em and educate us, with a 4' spinning rod and reel combo, just fishing weightless Senkos. Even my daughter's Songe Bob and Scooby poles catch fish, but they would snap if a striper hit on a tight drag. Team Daiwa TL-661-5RB
