Quick take
An 8 foot 2-piece offshore trolling rod with stainless roller guides and E-glass graphite composite for big-game saltwater trolling.
This 8-foot, heavy-power conventional trolling rod is built for offshore boat fishing with line in the 30-50 pound class. It has a fast action, stainless steel roller guides, an aluminum alloy reel seat and non-slip EVA grips. The two-piece blank splits for travel and storage in a car trunk or boat hatch. Anglers trolling for wahoo, tuna or dolphin from a boat would look at it.
Best for
- Trolling for offshore pelagics at depth

Trade-offs
