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

Would the TLC70HBBL and a talica 20 be well balanced set up for Tuna Fishing on the east coast? Jig, live bait & chunk? if not, what rod would you recommend for that style fishing?
1 Answer
I would actually recommend the 6'6" version of this rod Shimano TLC66HBBL Tallus Blue Water Conventional Rod this will be better for what you want to do.

Reel recommendations for this for Blackfishing, stripers inshore North Jersey
1 Answer
This rod is a bit heavy for the style of fishing your doing. The 7' MH paired with an Avet SX would be a great set up for inshore striped bass and blackfish.
