Quick take
A two-piece bent-butt trolling rod rated for 50-80 lb line and designed for offshore game fish.
A short two-piece bent butt trolling rod for offshore boat fishing, built on a glass and carbon composite blank. Stainless steel roller guides keep line moving smoothly under heavy load, and the aluminum reel seat pairs with a rubber-wrapped grip. It is made for big saltwater fish like tuna, wahoo and marlin, and the two-piece design travels easily in a car.
