Gary Roach, "Mr. Walleye," wanted three Peek-A-boo rods for sight fishing, the 17”, the 20", and the 22". All three are ultra lights,a must for the most sensitive biter. This one has a little more back bone, next to the handle. So you can fish a little deeper structure for a good hook set, stay with tiny 1/80th, 1/16th jigs. He uses the 1 to 2# Bionic line; it's a must for more bites. This rod is a must for big blue gills, crappies and perch.
