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.

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

Pros

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.

Hello John,


I would say the 50 is a little heavy, I would check out the 30 squall

Would this work as a medium duty planar rod matched with a torium 50 with 80 braided line for pulling Planas for kings and wahoo in south florida
1 Answer
Depends on the size of the planers you plan on using, but this rod should do really well for kings. May be a little light for wahoo, but if you are able to pack on enough line on that Torium 50 you would be fine.
