The rod famous from youtube . . .
July 20, 2022
I bought a few of these after getting hooked on everyone's favorite fluking with Gulp! youtube channels.

The rod is responsive enough for its purpose. If you're fishing a tandem Gulp! rig with the 5-6" bucktail on the bottom and teaser on top you can probably get away with a little more weight than recommended for jigging since the buoyancy of the Gulp! tends to counteract the weight of the jig when one is actively jigging.

Only "con" as stated on my review for the recommended/matching Quantum Accurist baitcast reel is that the two don't mate together well at the reel stand/rod's reel seat. I'm not sure whether it's the size and shape of the reel stand or the rod's reel seat but I've had the Accurist pop off the Tsunami rod while fighting fish (and it's happened to others with this youtube combo). Perhaps it's because the target market for small baitcast reels is freshwater anglers, and an inshore saltwater rod's reel seat is made to accommodate more rugged saltwater reels with a "meatier" reel stand.

I applied some teflon tape to the threads of the reel seat before tightening down the rod's locknut and it has mitigated the problem thus far.

great action poor quality
June 11, 2022
I love and hate this rod at the same time. The action is great, but rod construction is poor. The guides after the first two, have single feet so after a while the upper guides bend then break. I have broken at least 6 of the heavy rods in the last 2 years. They all break at same place in between the 3rd and 4th guides. I have other casting rods that are in the same weight class that have caught hundreds of fish on that are 10 years or more old, so it's not something I'm doing wrong. The last one broke when I was reeling in a sea robin, I have one Xheavy rod that I use for trolling that seems to hold up well. There is just something wrong with the heavy version of this rod. After the first one broke I thought maybe it was my fault or a fluke thing, but after the 6th one broke I'm convinced there is a design flaw.
Pros
  • great action
Cons
  • poor quality, breaks

Best Value
April 9, 2022
I now own 3 of these Tsunami Classic rods in H, XH, XXH and I honestly don't think that for the price they can be beat. They have excellent sensitivity and power, are lightweight and the components are quality. I use mine on party boats in and around Long Island for Porgies, Fluke, Seabass, Tog, Blues and Stripers.

Pros
  • Value. Price.
Cons
  • None.

Great Fluking Rod
February 7, 2022
This is a great fluking rod in the bay or ocean. Got enough backbone. I use 3-4 oz bucktails on this frequently. I have this paired sometimes with my avet or quantum
Pros
  • Backbone
  • Great price
  • Great for fluking

Decent rod for the money
October 3, 2021
I received the TSCC701XH as a gift and upon first sight, I thought it would be good for fluking, porgies, sea bass and other bottom fish. It held up well for the first season and I really liked the action and the strength of the backbone. I actually managed to land one of the biggest skates I've ever seen while out drifting for fluke.
The one issue that I had with the rod is that near the tip, it the blank started to splinter. I have not abused and only seen ten fishing out on the salt. I am assuming that this is not typical, as I ave not read many problems like this. If anyone from Tsunami reads this, I would love to ask about this rod or the next iteration. At this current price, I would totally consider purchasing this rod again.
Pros
  • Nice action for light bucktailing.
  • Stronger than you'd think for such a light rod.
Cons
  • I had a problem with the tip splintering.

Tsunami is a brand name I can trust. Cork handle on this model gives you that sensitivity that you need when searching close to bottom, great rod for feeling things out and getting to know what's down there. As for strength it's got it and more.

Excellent Fluke Rod
February 8, 2021
Had my best season fishing with this Tsunami TSCC 701XH. From back bay flats to 15 miles offshore, this rod got the job done. It is sensitive enough to feel even the smallest fish and has the backbone to crank down on a doormat. I personally aim for the extra heavy rod because it feels better while jigging. Little to no rod bounce when jigging a fluke rig with 4-5oz of lead. I fished the same rod, but heavy (701H) and chose the XH as my go to.

701H is good..... but be careful with the 701XH
September 3, 2019
I bought both versions of these rods. Very light so it will not put a strain on your arm. The 701H was purchased specifically for jigging lighter bucktails, and works very well. I mainly utilize this on my kayak in shallow water up to around 20ft

However, the 701XH was purchased for heavier bucktails or chicken rig setups. Took it out the other day and while trying to break off from a snag, the rod snapped in half. Very disappointing to say the least
Pros
  • I'm giving this 3 stars specifically for the 701H. Light, yet powerful, and cost effective. You won't find a better priced rod for handling lighter bucktails (2-3 oz)
Cons
  • Quality of the 701XH is something to be desired. Could've just been a bad blank..... but I dunno. Shouldn't just break like that on a snag when trying to free it

Can the classic in xtra heavy be used for sea bass. Want to pair with an Avet or similar reel loaded with 50lb braid
1 Answer
Hi Dominick, The Tsunami TSCC 701XXH Classic Casting Rod would be great to use for seabass and bottom fishing applications. I would recommend to pair this with a Avet SXJ G2 5.3 Single Speed Reel. https://www.tackledirect.com/avet-sxj-g2-5-3-single-speed-reel.html Combined this would be a ideal setup for saltwater bottom fishing applications.

from San Diego asked:
February 2, 2022
Thanks for your answer! Im a bit of a novice when it comes to what rods fit what purpose. I apologize for all these questions. Is the tsunami TSCCB 76 1 W good for bottom jigging? Its rated 20-50 and lure wt 2-12oz. I put line on and attached a 16oz sinker and it seemed to hold that load pretty good. Could I use this rod for rock fishing fishing? Also what would be the primary use for that particular rod? Thank you for your patience.
1 Answer
Hi Sean, The rod you are inquiring about is rated up to 12oz you would not want to fish with more weight on the rod then that. If you put more weight than the manufacturer has allowed on the rod you risk over loading the rod and breaking the rod. This can occur many ways but the two most common are 1) setting the hook with a tight drag with a rod that is already over loaded, or 2) high sticking the rod to swing a fish into the boat. If you choose to do this and the rod breaks this will also cause you to void any warranty on the rod from the manufacturer. I would recommend obtaining the correct rod for the job you need it to do. I would recommend the Ocean Tackle International FB56500C Fathom Blade 500g Jigging Rod. This rod has a Jig/Lure weight of 500 grams which is just over 17oz that the rod can hold. This would be a more ideal rod for the fishing application you are doing. https://www.tackledirect.com/ocean-tackle-international-fb56500c-fathom-blade-casting-rod.html

Thanks for your answer! The rock fishing trip Im going on will require up to 16oz size torpedo sinkers. So an XXH rod cant handle that?


Thanks 

1 Answer
Hi Sean, Unfortunately the Tsunami TSCC 701XXH Classic Casting Rod is only rated up to 6oz max. If you try to put anymore sinker weight and try to set a hook this could break the rod easy with 16oz. Instead I would recommend a Ocean Tackle International FB56500C Fathom Blade 500g Jigging rod. https://www.tackledirect.com/ocean-tackle-international-fb56500c-fathom-blade-casting-rod.html This rod can hold up to 17oz of weight and would be ideal for the fishing application you need.
