The Wave II features a moderate action and a travel-friendly design intended for both beginner and experienced anglers. It is suitable for dry and wet fly fishing on small- to medium-sized streams. The 490 and 590 models feature a cigar grip and serpentine guides. The 796 model features a full-wells handle and a combat butt. Each rod comes in a fabric cover. The #3 through #5 models cover most river conditions; the #7 is the model to choose for heavier lines and larger flies. The line includes 5 models covering lines #3 through #7; first choose the line size based on the flies and fish you’re targeting, then select the length based on the level of line control you desire.
