Quick take
A heavy-power one-piece trolling rod with roller guides and an aluminum gimbal butt for cranking in large offshore fish.
A 6-foot heavy-power trolling rod built for offshore boat fishing, with a glass and graphite composite blank and stainless steel roller guides. It pairs a machined aluminum reel seat with a soft EVA handle and foregrip, and it breaks down into two pieces for easier transport. Anglers running lines for tuna from a boat and fishing in the 30 to 50 pound line class will find it a fit.
Best for
- Trolling from charter boats for tuna, marlin, and wahoo
- Battling large fish at depth with significant line pressure
- Anglers who can handle the rod weight during long fights
Skip if
- Inshore fishing; the heavy power is excessive
- Single-angler boats without a rod holder; the gimbal is for gimballed holders
Strengths
- Roller guides minimize line friction under extreme load
- One-piece construction is more sensitive than two-piece
- Aluminum gimbal butt keeps the rod stable during long fights
Trade-offs
- One-piece design is difficult to transport
- Heavy rod requires shoulder or arm strength during extended battles
