This Musky Grip set is designed to have a spread out location to hold above a standard Eight Inch Full Wells Grip. Fly rods, even as 11 to 14 weights, are not meant to play large fish with the bend point high on the bottom section. Having the four extra inches spreads out the point of contact. Even with this added section playing large fish with the rod held high is not recommended. Always play these fish with the rod pointing to the side.
