This is the perfect small river salmon single hander . Note rod shown above from the Orvis site does not show correct handle which should include a lower cork section ("fighting butt") of @3 inches.
Below review from a steelhead fishermen from the Orvis site.

"Bought this rod in Sept 09 and have macthed it with a Guide Line shooting head system. This thing casts a mile with this and loads great. Have Orvis wonderline for the floating line. For the money I think that it is one of the best steelhead rods around that I have tried. Was comparing the Zero Gravity that was on sale at the store in Canada where I bought it and the Zero Gravity was only $100.00 more but I personally thought the Matrix was a nicer casting rod. Great fast action rod. The only thing that I would really like on this rod is some recoil guides for winter steelheading in Ontario off Lake Huron. Great product and would highly recommend it to anyone."
Total bargain !
