Quick take
A 5.5 ft fiberglass boat rod with roller guides, built for offshore trolling and big game fish.
This is a 5.5 foot, one-piece all-roller-guide trolling rod in the 100-120 lb class, built for stand-up big game tuna fishing. It pairs a fiberglass blank with an anodized aluminum reel seat, a cross-cut aluminum gimbal butt and an EVA foam grip. Six stainless rollers handle heavy line, and it comes with a rod sock. Anglers working offshore with heavy tackle will find the extra heavy power suited to that job.
