I have 2 of them 1 in xh and other in xxh. Man they are light u feel like your gonna break them. I caught a 40lb grouper on the xh with a avet lx raptor that's stuck itself in the rocks and I mean the rod was bent almost in half and the rod held beautifully. Amazing rods from shimano and I was mainly a st croix guy.

Bought this rod for my trip to Loreto, Baja California. Paired it with a Shimano Tranx 400 with 65 lbs braid and 40-80 lbs leader. Combo was awesome. Used it to cast hard baits into the rocks or live bait. Was able to pull on Pargo and Group that wanted to go back into the rocks with plenty of power. I would recommend this rod.

Very Modern

Shimano is very good at updating their product lines often incrementally increasing the quality over time. This rod is a very versatile addition to any collection and utilizes some of the most advanced materials and production techniques. My AVET LX MC Raptor fits very nicely on this rod and makes a great do it all salt water combo.

Perfect All-Around Rod

Paired a TZC66XH with a talica 12. The rod is light and very sensitive. Enough back-bone to pull any fish up off the reefs. My go-to for just about any fish in the gulf. Caught groupers, snappers, triggerfish, and sharks.

This rod is amazing. I used it for lingcod and bottom fish.. it can handle a lot of pressure. I can’t wait for albacore tuna to bend this rod. Tight line...

I got the rod on time and it was packed very well in a sturdy cardboard tube and had bubble packed inside to protect the tip.
The rod feels great paired with my Talica 12. But due to the Covid 19 situation I have not been able to go out and use it. I was all geared up to go White Seabass fishing in March but trip got cancelled.

Awesome rod

Awesome rod for grouper , snapper , and amberjack.

Would rather have rollers on this then eyes

Allan

It is really annoying when an eye breaks off your expensive line or frays it when you have a big fish on. That stuff is not cheap, and most eyes will eventually do it because they are cheap.

Excellent for Large Fish..........

I've got this for my sturgeon fishing and this is one heck of a rod....I would not trade it or use other models or brands,this has a great backbone and with a sensitive tip that I have no problem detecting a fish that taking on the bait. I've also used this rod for Salmon and stripers and I'm am impressed of the performance it gives me. I've paired it with the new Daiwa Lexa 400HD read more 7.1:1 ratio on 65lb Power Pro braid and never looked back........with the reel fast high speed ratio,I cannot have the fish to stay slack on my line during reel pumping.........I highly recommend this rod and reel combo for those that do fish for this species........

Excellent rods. Just which they made one with removable butt section.

I bought one of these the moment it came out when I saw the 80-200# rating and picked up the rod and felt the lightness. It was bright red and most thought it was a joke when I boarded the boat loaded with 80's and 50's. At the time I put the new accurate boss extreme 500 on it because shimano really didn't make a reel like the talica back then. Well after landing a medium bluefin read more and a 95# yellowfin with relative ease with a stand up clip on belt, I was hooked on this light tackle gear. You can put all the heat most stand up fisherman can take with this gear. It is so light and powerful you are simply not fighting the gear. It was a real pleasure to fish with this rod. On one pass we hooked two yellows about 65#, one was on the terez with the accurate and the other was on a classic 50W tiagra set up. I had the fish whipped and released before the other fish was anywhere near the boat. The efficiency of the terez along with the talica II reels are impressive. I have since sold all my classic tiagra gear and only fish with talica/terez gear now. It is a no brainer. I have seen 800# marlin and 600# bluefin landed with terez/talica II's . It is the only way to go nowadays. IMO. Braided line has made all this possible. If you fish with mono, then there is a reason for the big heavy gear but this is the best choice by far if you like stand up fishing. Try it. You will not regret it.

Very versatile rod

Sweet rods

I have a couple of these rods in different actions and power. I mainly use them for either jigging or bait fishing in the NE. The rods are sensitive to the bites and the heavier rods are able to sling 20 oz jigs without any problems. The rods are light and you don't feel the strain on your arms or back after a long day of fishing. One thing you should be aware of - the line read more guides show signs of rust stains at the base after multiple uses. I rinse my rod/reels down after each trip and have noticed rust stains due to the guide seat not totally sealed. For the cost of these rods, little details like this is not acceptable. I'd expect much better quality control.

A good rod from Shimano

Asked by Mike 6 years ago

I have a Seigler SG reel and I plan on using it with live bait for snook from piers and a kayak and maybe some bottom fishing/trolling in the gulf from a kayak. Which Terez rod would you recommend?

Donald 6 years ago

Hello Mike. The 7' M would be enough fishing from a kayak. If you want a rod with a bit more backbone for both pier fishing and to be used in the kayak the MH model would do the trick.

Asked by Steve 2 years ago

What terez rod would you suggest for halibut/lingcod in Alaska? Planning to pair it with an Avet jx raptor or mxj raptor. Thank you! 

Billy - TackleDirect Customer Service 2 years ago

The 7' or 6'6" XH models would work great for Ling Cod and Halibut. They have the backbone to handle the heavy weights needed for that application. 

Asked by JLA 4 years ago

I noticed there is a fast and a extra fast on the medium heavy. Why would i choose one over the other? 

Bernie De Graaf 4 years ago

That would depend on how your fishing. A extra fast tip will bend closer to the tip and will be a little stiffer. A fast action will bend more down the blank of the rod. Hook sets tend to be quicker with a extra fast action rod.
