At 2.01 m (6'7") and only 100 g, the 167M-S/2 offers an excellent balance of lightweight handling and Medium power. Its Extra Fast (Ex.Fast) action provides a quick and highly responsive tip, making it especially effective for techniques that require precise lure control, quick hooksets, and excellent bite detection.
