Great All Purpose Rod

Kevin

Bought this for a day chasing Blues, Stripers and Sea Bass. It caught fish casting and trolling both big fish and small. Fuji guides are a nice touch. Gimbal mount with butt cover worked out well. No complaints here!

Very nice rod

Jeff
2 years ago

Very nice spinning road for off shore, caught several good red snappers and hooked up on several taxmen. Rod has plenty of backbone. Paired with a Diawa BG 4500 and a Diawa BG 5000. Great combo.

Nice rod for the money. Handles big fish yet sensitive to feel slightest touch. Well made tackle direct product with a low price tag...

Best heavy spinner boat rod

Michael

The rod to bring a tarpon boat side or a snapper of the bottom. If you want value and backbone, this is a great rod. Have mine paired with a Daiwa BG. Solid set that won’t break the bank.

Appears to be well made

Just purchased this rod to pair with a 6000 penn reel. The rod appears to be very well made. Will update the review if I have any issues.

Own two of these rods I use on Chesapeake Bay for live bait cobia fishing and occasional trolling. Feel very sturdy and well built under the pressure of large fish. Also stiff enough to troll a #1 and probably #2 in line planer. A little too stout to be used as a go to casting rod and would need to be throwing something over 2 ounces. Just ordered a jigging rod from TD becasue I read more like the way these feel so much

All purpose rod

Dave
3 years ago

Bought for my mom (who loves to fish!) as an all purpose rod. In my couple days with it, I think it's a little heavy as far as actual weight is concerned, but that it will hold up to the use and abuse that Jersey has to offer, from fluke to small tuna.

WOW!! A Great Rod at a Great Price!!

Great Rod - Super Value

So, bought 2 of them to go live lining for Kingfish in south FL, they didn't disappoint! We paired them up with Shimano baitrunners using 50 lb braid with a 30lb floro topshop and caught 4 in the 25 lb range.....the rods handled them like a champ! Plenty of bend when needed yet stout enough to bring them to the boat with confidence. So happy we bought 2 more!!

No more Ugly

I have twelve old Ugly Stix. The new ones...not so impressed. Bought this. Ripped in 50 lb blacktops...great rod for the money, maybe the best.

Great rods for a good price. Use these for offshore and haven't had one issue. They also look good.

Awesome Boat rod.

I used this boat rod on my trip to deep sea fishing and all I can say is perfect. It is sensitive enough to feel every bite of the fish to your line & good enough to cast your lure or bait far.

Silver hook boat spinning rod

Lynne

I bought one of these rods 2 years ago, it's holding up very well. Freshwater wash after every use keeps it looking new and the guides handle that 30# braid without issues. I'm so pleased I went and bought 2 more rods this summer, a great rod and a great value. Thank you Tackle Direct

Would this rod be a good match for a Penn Spinfisher VI 8500?  Wanting a good all-round offshore combo.

This rod would be too small for a reel that size. Take a look at the Tsunami TSCSHDBSII701H-B Carbon Shield II Boat Spinning Rod. This rod would balance better with that reel and the specs would be better suited for the type of fishing you plan on doing.
