Absolutely love this rod, paired it with a 10k size shimano saragosa. I’ve used it from everything to bridge snook and large reds to sharks and gag grouper. It has great sensitivity when using live baits and the back bone to pull up large fish or turn heads.
Pros
- Back bone strength and tip sensitivity.
Cons
- None

Put a Cabo 60 spooled with 65# spider wire. I can pull anything from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of Oregon. Plan on using for tuna and halibut this year. Don’t see any problems.

This rod can handle everything you throw at it. It's tough, strong and sensitive. The Terez line of rods are some of the best made. From medium to extra heavy, these rods will help you catch more fish !!!
Pros
- Made for braid. Light weight. Sensitive. Strong. Tough. Comfortable
Cons
- A fairly light tip for some situations.

Shimano TZS72MBLK Terez Spinning Rod, Used this rod for everything and it's a great all around boat rod. I've jigged up to 5oz with it, thrown lures with it and bottom fished with it.
Pros
- Great all around rod
Cons
- Heard they dont like being dropped. Hand mine bounce of the rail and hasn't broken yet. I guess time will tell.

want to order TZS78XNBLK but should ask - will it work good with soft lures ( savage gear sandels 8 inche for example)?
planing to use it most for halibut with soft lures , and with Saragosa SW8000 , maybe you can advice an other - better option ?
thanks
1 Answer
You won't get a good action on the rod with lighter lures because the rod is more designed for top water popping technique. You would be better off going for something a little bit shorter and lighter.Â

I want to use the TZS78XHBLK to throw poppers at striped bass, yellowfin tuna, and mahi mahi. However, I am concerned about the absence of a lure rating for this rod. I have some big GT style poppers and stickbaits that weigh in at 5 to 6.5 oz (140g - 175g). Will this overload this rod or effect its casting performance? I heard people say 2-5 oz was good on the heavy version, so was hoping the extra heavy version would be good for the larger baits and closer to a 200g popping rod. Thanks.
1 Answer
Since this rod does not have a lure rating on it I decided to hang a 5oz and 6oz from the rod. The rod had more than enough backbone still to cast these weights. I think that what you are trying to do will work perfect for this rod.
