I bought this for saltwater bottom fishing, porgies, fluke, blackfish (tautog) and the like. Medium-heavy version. Wasn't crazy about the length - 6'3". I prefer 7'. But once I got it into my head, I couldn't get it out. Once I had it in my hands, so light, I was, as they say, hooked. Rod worked great with a Daiwa 4000D-C and 30lb Power Pro. Strong enough to bring up an 11lb blackfish. Then, very next trip, got caught in the mechanism of the lobby door and SNAP! Six more inches gone. Made it up with a Trevala PX (yes, 7', MH), but I'm still happy for that time we got to fish together, and that wonderfully HUGE tautog. If you can keep it in one piece, it'll be good for you.

I bought a TVSS63ML last month here. Maybe I had clicked a wrong choice. I had thought to buy a TVSS63MH. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much when fishing porgies. It was light, but it was capable of handling double porgies. The tragedy happened when I put the rod down to the holder and went to help my friend whose line was tangled with the boat engine. When I turned back, I saw the rod bending all the way down the boat and crack! It might have tangled into one of the many cow-nose Rays swimming around us most of the time.
I wondered why the rod was broken, in stead of the leader or the main line, both 30 pound test.
TackleDirect.com was great to refund me since the rod was out of stock for a replacement. Shimano USA did not have it either.

Light weight and super strong. Beautiful looking as well...

Excellent quality , the exact size and action I was looking for

I love this rod, very sensitive, great casting and very light. I have a stradic on it and I can cast and jig the combo all day and it can lures up to 3.9 oz.

Awesome rod! Shimano never fails to deliver the expected quality.

Can’t wait to use mine for tog sea bass and fluke very light strong and looks very nice

very light

Been using this rod for about a year now fishing shallow water blackfish with light Jigs. Has the sensitivity to feel the bight and the backbone to make sure they dont go back down into the hole. Great Rod.

It feels like im holding paper but it’s so strong ive almost had it at 90 degrees

I was looking for this rod and T D had it in stock , on sale , with free shipping . Processed and delivered the order in within a week .

I know spinning gear isn't commonly used trolling, but these rods are excellent trolling with Power Pro line for salmon with a down rigger. I have landed King salmon to 60 lbs and many silver salmon to 14 lbs, the spinning reels are much user friendlier as they stay in the correct position for novice fishermen and they don't have to fight the reel to keep it on top of the rod. The single foot design line guides are not prone to cracking the blank as the double foot guides are, and I have not broken a blank yet using these rods for the past 5 years.

Looks and feels so light, but lots of power and flex...used it last weekend and was super impressed with the tog it could handle. great sensitivity and feel and easy to move. Glad I bought one

I am using this pole for fluking in the ocean and it is a great pole to have. It is very thick which makes it a stiff pole to fight bigger fish on. I can't wait to fight some mahi on this pole offshore. Definitely buy this pole.

Lite, versatile and well built. I use it to jig for salmon and just about any freshwater big game fish and luved it. The long handle is a tremendous plus to fighting big fish..😀.
