A heavy-duty series of stand up rods for those targeting large pelagics, the Shimano Talavera Bluewater Roller Tip Uni-Butt Conventional Rods are built to meet the demands of the toughest offshore trolling applications. Featuring extremely powerful rod blanks and the most rugged components, this series is designed to pair with your 50 and 80 class reels to target massive game fish that lesser rods simply wouldn't handle. These rods feature nearly indestructible ALPS aluminum straight uni-butts that quickly and easily slip out of rod holders and lock into your fighting belt with an aluminum gimbal. Equipped with heavy-duty Fuji Aluminum Oxide Ring Guides (non-roller turbo guides), these rods can be effectively fished with both monofilament and braided lines. The addition of an AFTCO Roller Tip allows for smooth line pay out under heavy drag pressures while trolling. Sure to fit well in the arsenals of pelagic trophy hunters on any coast, this series provides the strength and reliability you'll require when battling big wahoo, marlin, tuna, and more.

Can this be used as a straight butt rod with an electric reel? Shimano Forcemaster. 
1 Answer
Hi John, The Shimano Talavera Bluewater Roller Tip Uni-Butt Conventional Rods can be used with a straight butt. However, if you want to leave this in a rod holder it would be ideal to use a bent butt or a Winthrop Tackle Terminator Adjusta-Butt that can be used for either a straight butt or bent butt. https://www.tackledirect.com/winthrop-tackle-terminator-adjusta-butt.html Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with.
