Grilse have notoriously soft mouths, so without enough flex/give in the rod, particularly when the fish is near the end of the fight and on a short line. That makes this rod useful for casting PowerBait type lures where you cast it and set it in a rod holder as well as for casting a lure and jigging it back.

They are much more sensitive than the float itself in showing when a fish takes the bait and swims to the side rather than down.
