Incredible rod

Smoak

I caught this 36lb Amber Jack on a 7'2" Med-light Terez, yes medium light. I don't suggest this size rod for Amber Jack, we were fishing for snapper, but it can handle it!

Use this pole off the Oregon coast. Brought in 6 foot Blue Sharks, 42 inch lingcod and had my way with them. Still waiting for a good Halibut. Love this rod. Would recommend it and will buy more.

Fantastic rod

Eli

This rod is great, honestly the first really 'good' rod I've purchased and man what a difference it makes. The rod is thin with a lot of feel and action but incredibly tough. You can tell it has a lot of power in it if you need to haul in a sizeable fish. I've been using it for striped bass and it has enough sensitivity that you can really feel them bumping the lure and when they read more hit you can just crank down and the rod happily takes it.

Perfect Rod

Best All Around Rods on Market Today!!!!!

Terez rods were great and got better in 2019 when the added Power X and Spiral X making the rods have less/no twist and adding to the power/parabolic lift of the rod making it have greater backbone/power. Bottom line rod has a very sensitive tip while also having the power you want. Bottom line you can catch almost anything that swims and you CAN’T break this rod.

I read more have 13 Terez rods from ML to XH and I highly recommend these rods. I have them paired with Saragosa and Twin Power reels .... a great combination.

Quality Spinning Rod

Cecil

Paired a TZS78XHBLK with a Shimano Saragosa. The rod has amazing strength to pull jacks and red snappers right up, yet sensitive enough to feel mangos tapping on your bait. You won’t be disappointed with this rod.

Great

What is the difference between the 7'8 heavy and the 7'8 extra heavy? does the XH have the second grip above the reel seat rather than the single full length grip?

The Extra Heavy has a bit more backbone over the Heavy. The heavy will bend further down the blank than the Extra Heavy. Both have a extra grip.

The power of the rod does not necessarily matter when pairing with a specific reel. Medium or Medium-Heavy depends on your preference. The Medium 7'2 would be the best option when fishing striper and tautog. Unfortunately, Shimano does not have lure ratin

The Terez is definitely a great option. Model number TZS72MBLK would pair very well with the reel you have and would suit those applications perfectly. I'd also look into the Lamiglas Paco Kayak Series Saltwater Rods.

If casting distance is of primary concern I'd suggest the 7'8" models (TZS78HBLK and TZS78XHBLK). These models would also be the best fit for a reel in the size range that you mentioned.

Both rods will work for your application. The heavy will just muscle them in quicker while the medium will be more of a fight. The 6000 saragosa would balance out better with the medium power rod.
