Landed a 130 lb blue fun on this rod with straight 100lb braid and heavy leader I was able to fight and land the fish quick.

Multipurpose rod

Purchased this rod and paired it with a pen torque 300. It performs flawlessly when jigging for bluefin tuna and have caught fish up to 60” on it. It also is sensitive enough that it works well as a bottom fishing rod for cod and haddock. Even found a needle in a haystack and hooked a 200 pound class Thresher vertical jigging for cod and this rod had more than enough to do battle.
Pros
- Extremely light
Cons
- Would prefer a stranger reel seat but with a reel clamp installed it?s a non issue.

I really like the weight and action of the rod. The real seat came loose on my first time using it so I don't believe the quality is there.
Pros
- Action, Weight
Cons
- quality

66XH paired with a Tekota for rockfish, halibut, kayak dropper. Won't fatigue you after hours at the rail, plenty of strength to winch up anything from the bottom.

Bought a two of these (one conventional and one spinning) a couple of years ago and no complaints. Great for live baiting from NJ piers. Both paired with Shimano reels and Power Pro. Handles very nicely.

Would this rod be a good choice for jigging big, heavy 30oz jigs for 150lb+ halibut? Been using a Travala 5’6” XXH and need a little more stiffness for the heavier jigs .
1 Answer
John,
If you are looking for something heavier for 30oz jigs, then the Shimano Tallus TLC66XXHBBL will work as long as you are just dropping and jigging, not trying to cast. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

this rod with avet lx6.0 magic cast?? Is this the correct combination for both trolling and casting to surface fish?
1 Answer
The Avet LX 6.0 and the TLC66XXHBBL would make a great combo for doing just that.
