I am no rod expert or fishing expert, and I dont own a 1084, however I do own a 1025 and love it . I really like how the new ones have the extended blank in the rod seat for more sensitivity, but it does make your fingers cold in the morning. I have caught Kings, Silvers, Chums, Steelhead, Dollies, and even the occasional cutthroat trout with no problems. I have fished all techniques with this rod(drift, spinners, floats, plugs), it can be a little tough with floats when your casting a long ways but I have been able to manage.

Just some input from a 17 year old kid
