Quality Rods that made me a striper pro!
August 1, 2018
This is my second set of Maja Rods, part of the system that trolls bunker spoons for big bass. Tony Maja spent a lifetime perfecting this approach so those of us who use it can catch stripers like a pro. And the rods do all the work so trolling wire is no longer drudgery. Get the rods and all the Maja gear, find a how to article or video and become a striper pro!

ok rods but trolling is tough nowadays
November 4, 2021
These rods look like old Harnells but they have different actions. I had a bad time landing bluefish with the single hooks and switched to Kaiju trebles. Now they hook everything that looks at them including a variety of sharks up to 100 lbs The rods held up under the stress of 100 lb fish and could easily handle the largest stripers Unfortunately all I see lately is whales dolphins and sharks but no bluefish or stripers .
Pros
  • They can handle big fish on wire line .I never saw a bunker spoon rod take such a beating and they liked it.
Cons
  • They look like the old Harnells but the action is different..

What can I say before I fish them!
May 2, 2021
All high quality components and that makes them a great buy. (I bought 2 Tony Maja Bunker Spoon Wire Line Trolling rods). My Dad and I used to troll wire out by Middle Ground lighthouse In the LI Sound. It sure beat up the rods. So I checked these over real good. It has all the components listed, but, they are manufactured well. By obviously experienced rod. builders. The spline seems where it belongs. The gimbal and reel seat are Aluminum and well seated. (Not shifting or spinning). The guides are tough and especially well bound, taped and epoxied to the rod. The epoxy finish is glossy and even. The guides are the most important to me as all of our rods from other brands used to break where the guide met the guide mount and rattled around on the wire after they had broken. Ugh!. That being said, I can't wait to try them out. It seems that Tony really did do the work and put together the right product at a good price. Id rather buy it once and get it right rather than need 2 or 3 of the same over time.
Pros
  • Build Quality
Cons
  • I wish I could get them in 10 foot models.

Absolutely the best for fishing spoons!
December 2, 2020
I have 2 of these paired with Senator and wireline for striped bass. The action on these rods is fantastic and they have just enough backbone to pull in those cow stripers that hit the big spoons. A must if you are fishing bunker spoons!

You will not be disappointed with this rod. The rod is made with quality parts and for a good price. The rods work amazing with bunker spoons and it really does make a difference. I have no complaints other than I didn't buy it sooner and I wish I never bought cheaper imitation on ebay. Highly recommend and I now have two. I matched it with a Penn 113HSP.

Bought 2 of these rods for the spoons I've been collecting. I paired them with okuma cw-453d reels loaded with braid backer and 300' of monel. The rods have a nice pump to then.
Pros

  • Aluminum reel seat
  • Great action
Cons
  • Wrap color isn't my choice

Recommendation for a reel please...Avet or Shimano preferred 
1 Answer
Both companies produce top of the line reels. It ultimately comes down to personal preference. Some prefer one to the other.

I can't locate a number of pieces of info about the rod.

Line class range?
Action (Medium, heavy, extra heavy)

Taper (Slow, medium, fast,)

length.

I need an 8 foot rod (7-ft 8inches to 8-ft 4-inches) for bottom fishing with something like a Shimano Torium or Trinadad 30.

Thank for help on these questions and any other rod options you have in this cless.


1 Answer
Unfortunately, Tony Maja doesn't list specs on this rod, but this is not a bottom fishing rod. I would check out the Daiwa Proteus-WN Saltwater Rods for the application you're looking for.
