Information

The blank

A 4-axis carbon blank built as a super-heavy versatile big-bait rod, strong enough to launch and control 50-230 g lures while doubling as an offshore casting rod for game fish up to the 40 kg class.

What it's built for

Built for large seabass and akame taken on big baits from shore, and for offshore casting sessions targeting yellowfin tuna and similar heavyweight species. This bridges shore big-bait fishing and genuine offshore game fishing in one blank.

How it fishes

Suited to a powerful, steady retrieve for big swimbaits and pencils, or an aggressive popping and stickbait action offshore, with the rod's power built to control fish rather than finesse a bite.

The setup it likes

Pair with a large offshore or big-bait casting reel, PE3-8 braid and a heavy shock leader. Size the leader to whichever end of its dual-purpose brief is being fished that day.
