Quick take
A 5'6" big game rod with roller guides, rated for 30-80 lb line on trolling rigs and heavy saltwater use.
This one-piece 5.5-foot composite trolling rod is built for heavy saltwater work, with a 30 to 80 lb line class and a medium-heavy power. Five roller guides and a roller tip let heavy line run smoothly when you are fishing for tuna and other offshore game. A split EVA grip and a rod sock come with it, which suits boat anglers moving up to big game tackle.
