Quick take
A 10 ft medium-heavy boat rod in two pieces with fiberglass blanks and graphite reel seat for trolling.
This 10-foot, two-piece conventional boat rod has a medium-heavy power and a fast action, built for line in the 12 to 25 pound range. Fiberglass-reinforced blanks, a graphite reel seat and contoured EVA grips make it a straightforward pick for anglers fishing from a boat. It suits lures of about 3/4 to 4 ounces, and the two-piece design is easier to carry than a single long blank.
Best for
- Offshore trolling and bottom fishing
- Light to medium offshore jigging
- Situations where heavy power is not needed
Skip if
- You need a 1-piece construction
- You fish heavy offshore where power matters
Strengths
