The TackleDirect TDPS662040SIN-UB2 Platinum Hook Conventional White Marlin Rod is high performance and the result of stringent "on the water" design and testing by some of the finest sport anglers around the world. The TDPS662040SIN-UB2 Conventional Standup Rod features a durable E-glass blank with a softer tip section geared towards a higher percentage of quality hooksets and less pulled hooks when targeting white marlin or sailfish with circle hooks. The heavy duty Fuji SIN (Silicon Nitride) guides allow for trouble free use with your favorite monofilament line. Instead of the heavy duty Fuji graphite reel seat like on our standard white marlin rod, this one features a #2 short Aftco Unibutt allowing anglers with limited storage space on their rig more options. This rod is ideally paired with a 20-30lb class reel for putting together double digit release days out in the deep. .

Unibutt Model Ideal if Limited on Storage Space
First off, the rod has a nice soft action that is ideal for increasing your hook up ratio when targeting white marlin and even sailfish with circle hooks.Still has plenty of power where its needed for fighting a tuna or blue marlin. This model is slightly heavier than the non unibutt model with the slick butt, but for those that need to be able to break the rod down into two sections for storage purposes, it is a great option. Pairs well with your choice of a 20-30lb class conventional lever drag reel.
Pros
  • - Easily breaks down into two pieces for travel or storage purposes
  • - Nice soft tip to help increase hook up ratio
  • - Specifically designed for targeting white marlin with circle hooks
  • - All genuine Fuji guides and Aftco unibutt
  • - Plenty of power in case you hook into a tuna or a blue one
Cons
  • - Slightly heavier than same model with the slick butt

Awesome pitch bait rod for the smaller Black Marlin that come up on the 130's here on the GBR . Do a job on most Striped Marlin also.
Pros
  • Lots of power, nice parabolic bend, quality components.
Cons
  • A Little heavy , need some sort of harness for a longish fight.

Great rod for travel

I have this matched up with an Avet HX reel. Perfect for trolling or casting for Sailfish, Dorado and Crevalle Jack in Mexico. Uni-butt brakes down nicely for travel and has great action for this length rod which makes catching fish in this size range a blast!
Pros
  • Light weight, strong. Fun to fish
