Great fighting rod but not a great spinning rod
August 14, 2020
I have fought some good size fish on this rod and it handles it fantastically. This makes a great jigging spinner rod. It works beautifully for slow or fast pitch jigging but not great as a spinning rod. Its a rod that can also cast. The guides are too small and the fast action doesn't allow for enough mid rod flex to get a good whip that you need to cast a long distance.
To give you an example I can cast further on my Ugly stick 4' micro rod using a 1.5 oz deadly dick lure, by double then I can with anything with this rod.
Don't get me wrong. This is a beautiful rod that fights fish great and has the power to pull in 100# tuna but if you gotta cast far to them then this is not it.

TLS80HBBL - Excellent Medium Duty Stick
June 6, 2019
This rod can do a lot of work for striper, cod, deep drop, schoolie tuna, and bluefish applications. Feels very sturdy and worthy of bigger game, but is not a total pool cue. Love the grooved fore grip, also showcased in the Terez lineup. Very happy with this rod. The possibilities are endless.
Pros
- Stout
- Comfortable Grip

Great Rod
May 16, 2019
This rod has great sensitivity and you can pull the big ones out of their holes. It's light enough to be fished all day without getting worn down and looks great. Paired it with a Shimano Torium 30 and it worked perfectly.
Pros
- Lightweight
- Very sensitive
- Strong Backbone
Cons
- None

This is a great rod for casting distance with heavy mono line. Used for Sturgeon fishing. Would get 5 starts if they made one that was 8ft and had same stats.
Pros
- NIce power, and looks great.
Cons
- Needs to be a wee bit longer for shore fishing for Sturgeon

Would a shimano spheros 10,000 work on this rod
1 Answer
The Shimano Sphreos 10000 would be a bit heavy for the Shimano TLS80MHBBL Tallus Blue Water Spinning Rod. I would recommend a smaller Shimano Spheros reel for that rod.
