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.

1 Question & 1 Answer

Hello. I have three questions.


1. Is this a one or two piece rod? I need two pieces.

2. Is this a good rod for beach/pier fishing the Connecticut shore?

3. Would this pair nicely with a Shimano Spheros reel? Hi 

1 Answer
This is not a two piece rod, if you are doing mostly land based fishing you will have more success looking for a surf series rod. Also most come in two pieces.. Lastly, the Spheros is a great reel for the price i would recommend the 6000 size for surf fishing. Be sure to rinse with water after using!
