Excellent quality at a budget price

Tony

I have several of the 7 foot heavy action rod and cannot be happier with the purchases. Excellent balance and quality at a budget price. I paired it with the tsunami shield 3000 and 15lbs power pro braid. At slightly over 1 pound for the combo, you can fluke all day long and won’t have a dead arm. The heavy action rod is perfect for fluking using bucktails, and it’s sensitive read more enough to feel the thump. Accidentally hooked a cow nose ray and it handled it with no problems.

Great feel. First day it easily handled a 5lb Jack Crevale. Second day it out muscled a 10lb+ Sierra Mackerel that did a run unlike i've seen. The quality for the price is unreal. My second Tsunami rod.

I bought this rod to pair with a Legalis 4000 real. This set up was my primary rod for casting lures in the surf. Great back bone and just an all around good rod. I am more than pleased with its perforce. Handled big reds with ease. I will buy more!

This is my fav rod. Cork grips for a nice feel, lightweight, nice flex but still tough. Good for I'd say up to about a 10/12 lb saltwater fish. Nicely balanced with a Tsunami 4000 reel.

FAST AND EASY TRANSACTION

Tsunami 701H and 701MH Spinning Rods

Dan

I Didn't know anything about these rods. Never even heard of them. Took a chance.
My other half wanted a lightweight spinning rod that she could handle for some Tennessee Striper fishing.
I saw this 701H and it fit all her needs. Powerful lightweight moderate action spinning rod for jigging. I put a 4000 series Penn reel and 30# Braid line with it. 3/4 to 2 ounce jigs. read more It does the job.
She also wanted a lightweight spinning rod for live baiting Striper. The 701MH is quite a bit softer than the 701H. I set it up with a 4000 series Penn reel and 15# Floroclear line. A 3/4 to 1 1/2 ounce egg sinker and 5/0 circle hook is a perfect match for feeding those big guys a shad.
These rods are so nice. I bought i of each for myself. My nephew also bought a couple.

Great poles

Multi fish rod

I purchased 2 of these rods and outfitted wove Alet sx reels. I fish salt water out of a boat in the Cape Cod area. We caught Back Sea Bass, Fluke, Scup, Tautog, and some blue fish. I have many rod setups but love fishing this light weight with some back bone. Great for the money.

Worth it for the $

Oversized packaging worth it, I have saved the tube for moving and travel.

I have pulled 4'-5' sharks on this medium heavy rod, and 20" - 30" snook, both are just as fun!

OK but not Medium Heavy

Drew

Good quality but these should be rated medium and not medium heavy. I would get these again and just go up one level

Best bang for the buck

Mike

I’ve tried just about all. These rods are amazing for the price! This spinning rod is still going strong after 4 years and handling everything from 1/2 lb scup to full day assault of 30 lb Stripers. Most underrated rod manufacturer out there. Happy I tried it, now commited!

Asked by Tim 3 years ago

Would the 7 ft  2 piece MH rod be good for pier jigging a 1 oz. Gotcha plug for blues and sea trout with a 3000 penn fierce reel,and how much does this rod weight

Austin Kearney 3 years ago

Yes, that rod would match up with the Fierce 3000. Although, a 4000 size reel may match up better. The weight of this rod is listed as 5.4 oz.

Brian 4 years ago

We would recommend the 3500, but if you would like more line capacity depending on your application you could jump up to the 4500. Similar sized reel with a deeper spool.

Asked by Anthony 4 years ago

The pic shows this as a 2 piece rod is this correct? I have 4 tsunami classics and they are all 1 piece. Looking to replace them.

Sydney 4 years ago

For the Tsunami Classic Spinning Rods, one of the 7' Medium Heavy Rods is a two-piece. All other models of this rod that we carry are one piece.

The 6'6 MF will be good for squidding and the 7ft Mh will be suitable for the fish your targeting. Unfortunately we do not carry 8ft in this particular rod.
