I think its a little on the light side to be an all around rod. When you say all around, I am guessing that you are speaking of a Boat as well as Bank rod? A big and small rivers, float and drift fishing rod?

Big kings could give you problems with an 1141 if you need to get um under control, because this rod fishes best with light line. I have a variety of rods for different situations and can choose as conditions indicate.

It (1141) would make an excellent summer run Steelhead rod, or a light silver or Pink Salmon rod. I would recommend the 1143 as more suited for all around use. My $.o2
