This multipurpose, high-performance rod has a rare ability to cover the widest possible range of situations. The unique tip portion is perfectly formed to produce just the right tension for fishing from levees and boats. This enables swift assessment of sea bottom topography and greatly minimizes snags, the sworn enemy of anglers chasing rockfish. Speedy blank recovery, driven by the strong tension of the rod, combine with rapid power hooking to deliver a real advantage in a variety of angling situations. The superior tip-up balancing feels like an extension of the arm, enabling swift rod work with Texas rigs and jig baits. The “direct connectivity” gives lure manipulation a feel of linearity, clueing you in on subtle bites and changes in topography.
