i live in michigan but bought this rod for a trip to florida. i wanted a jigging rod that i could do a lot of different things with, and this rod has not let me down. very light and fishable, but never lacking in power. paired with an AVET MXJ, ive used it for jigging and trolling for mahi and tuna. live lined a few baits, and even got buttoned up on a big 250+ pound bull shark. the reel may have been undersized in some situations, but not the rod! ive also used it trolling big baits for muskie and fishing the channels for sturgeon here in michigan. you can feel everything with this rod but get into the back bone quickly with enough shock absorption for even the biggest head shakes. nothing but happy with this rod. and everyone always notes how light and nice to fish with it is.

very happy. very well built.

Was impressed by the rod, until it snapped between guides 5 and 6 (from the tip) as I have read from other commenters as well. I was only fighting a ~12 lb grouper...

We bought 2 of these a while back and they have been amazing! I've used them for sailfishing, bottom fishing, jigging for tuna, you name it. It's lightweight, very sensitive. You feel every nibble. I did have to replace one because an inexperienced angler was fighting a Goliath grouper on it and... well..it's not meant for Goliath grouper! But just about everything else! And the price can't be beat!

basically a tsunami copy. Works great for jigging and fills same role as my trevala but at half the price. Wish they had a heavier model but was sold out at the sale price. This is a 10-12 lb of drag rod. Could possibly do more but I hate the trevala spaghetti stick style. I like a bit more control so I limit it to that drag. for the money i am quite satisfied. Got an old Shimano mark 111 jigmaster jr size reel on it with 65 lb braid and 40lb leader. Only use it for metal jigging.

Maybe a bad blank? Got snagged and gave a quick pop to rod to try to get jig to free up. Broke one foot from tip. I wasnt bending a ? Just held low to water and gave it a quick flip!! 30-100 lb braid rated?? Couldnt handle 60 with 50 mono top shot..Handle not comfortable either. The reel seat has so many screw threads that when your hand is near the reel you are not on eva grip. All my rods have seat screw tight from bottom not top. None of my 20 other rods have this issue. Stick to a named brand blank. I have a Shimano TDR-70MHB That I bought for folks that cant fish and for $40 from Big 5 this stick has outperformed the jig rod from Tackle Direct

I purchased 3 of these rods for rock fish. I had 2 of them break at the exact same spot between the 5th and 6th guide from the tip while fighting rockfish under 20 pounds. Tackledirect.com customer service was awesome about making it right. I hope they get the defect fixed because I really like the feel of these rods.

Great rod for the price. Was amazed the second I picked it up. Nice and light and very strong. Love the double lock feature for the reel not many rods have that. Going to definitely purchase another one.

Great rod! I was in need of another offshore jigging rod but did not want to drain my pocket. I came across the TDSCJ661MH. This light, great action rod feels good out of the box and can handles its own. Took it on a tuna trip in the Gulf and pulled in blackfin tuna with ease. Even caught a 35# Cuda with no issues. Wasn't able to hook a YFT but hope to on my next trip. Great rod, great price. Get one and you'll be satisfied!

came just as decribed happy with rod

I purchased this rod in order to pair it with my Shimano Tranx 401AHG and absolutely love it for slaying huge calicos, yellow tails, and dorado. I also put on a Penn Fathom 30LDLH and crushed some bluefin with ease. It's light, strong, has good bend and sensitivity, and a very affordable price to compete against the high end rods. Highly recommend it

Got two of these last month, fished them on the reefs for fluke and sea bass, very light and stiff, worked great with my Avet SX reels. Great buy!

Great rod for the money- few $ less then brand name and feels just as good.

Rod performance was perfect lots of flex really held up to the fight......

Love tackle directs rods. All good craftsmanship and quality at a great price. Paired with a torium 20

Amazing rods held up to the fish I catch
