This one-piece 5.5-foot roller rod is built for big saltwater fish, with heavy power, a fast action and a composite fiber blank. Five roller guides and a roller tip carry heavy line smoothly while trolling or fighting tuna-class fish from a boat. A split EVA grip and a protective rod sock round out the package.
