Fathom Blade 300A
July 20, 2020
Ordered this rod a while ago, I was finally able to get out and use it this weekend and wow was I impressed. Fantastic rod, I used it in 225 feet paired with an Accurate Valiant 500N and it is an extremely light, great feeling combination. The rod has plenty of backbone for the Red Snapper and Grouper I caught with it. I highly recommend this rod. Easy to fish with all day and Great components on it at a great price.
Pros
  • Lightweight
  • Acid wrap
  • Good components

Got the 200g jigging rod. Feels nice and light. Can't wait to put it to the test...

Will
from Nj asked:
July 5, 2022
Would the 6 foot acid wrapped fit a seigler sg for tuna under 70lbs most around 30-50 and some small sharks?
1 Answer
Hi Will, The Ocean Tackle International Fathom Blade rod in the 6' acid wrap will work for your application but we recommend going with the 5'10 300g rod to have the more versatile rod. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with!

from FL asked:
June 1, 2022
Could you use these for slow pitch?
1 Answer
Hi Russ, You can use these rods for slow pitch jigging in the lighter weight ratings but the rods themselves are not designed to have the appropriate action for proper slow pitch jigging. We recommend The Ocean Tackle Pitch Black Slow Pitch Rods ( https://www.tackledirect.com/ocean-tackle-international-pitch-black-slow-pitch-jigging-rods.html ) for this application. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with! Tight lines!

Would the 5'8 400 gram acid work well for Tile Fish in the North East?
1 Answer
Hi Sam, The Ocean Tackle International FB56500A Fathom Blade 500g Acid would be a little light for Tilefish since you can use up to 3lbs of lead. I would recommend either a Shimano TZCR72XH Terez Rail Rod if you are fishing off a party boat or head boat or a TackleDirect Silver Hook Deep Drop Rod if your fishing from your own boat which would allow you to leave the rod in the gunnel making it much easier to fish. https://www.tackledirect.com/shimano-tzcr72xh-2019-terez-rail-rod.htmlhttps://www.tackledirect.com/tackledirect-tdsdd65mh-silver-hook-deep-drop-rod.html Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with.

Is the new 500g rod a completely different blank to

 the 400g rod I have 2 of  those and I like the fast actoin

Good backbone, but would like something a little heavier.

1 Answer
Hi Gary, The 500G Fathom Blade Jigging rod is a different blank than the 400G Fathom Blade Jigging rod. The 500g is a little thicker, heavier and stiffer than the 400g. Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with. Tight Lines.

Would the 400 gram acid work well for chunking off NY?
1 Answer
Jim,

The OTI Fathom Blade 400g Acid wrapped jigging rod would definitely work well for chucking off the east coast.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

How would this rod (length?) pair up with Fin-Nor Primal 12LD for jigging, trolling and some casting? Looking to see if there is an optimal rod to pair with this rod for Florida in shore larger game fish, tarpon, cuda and moderate offshore. 

 Or what would you suggest?? 

1 Answer
I would go with a rod over 6' if you're going to be casting as well

Will the OTI-FB62100S pair well with Van Staal VR50? Looking for an all-around set up grouper snapper and inshore up to 20 pounds. Casting and Jigging. 
1 Answer
You can definitely use this rod for your application. The rod is more suited for jigging so if you plan on casting more I would suggest a rod closer to 7 ft

from Cape May NJ asked:

Looking to pair up a rod for with my Avet HXW Raptor for trolling, jigging, and chunking off of NJ. Would this rod fit ?
1 Answer
This rod would certainly fit your jigging and chunking needs paired with the Avet HXW, but im not sure it would be the best trolling option, Im sure if you got the 300-400g model it would do the job but may not make for the best trolling rod. The HXW would be best for light trolling applications where the HX/HXJ would make for a better jigging/chunking combo paired with this rod
