Surprising Light

Jerome

2 years ago

Bought the 9'6" Tsunami and was going to pair it with Penn Slammer 5500. Rod was so light the slammer felt a little heavy on it, so I put the battle III 5000 on it and it was perfect. Casting 1oz bucktail for striper at a local damn and had a blast. Going to buy 10'6" to put with the slammer.

11ft 1-5 not really for jigging

Chris

tried one of these rods at the ccc. although it is rated for 5oz, it is really a softer rod, so i found that it was not the best for jigging. it does how ever throw a top water a mile and work it very well. its light, but kind of expensive for being sort of a one trick pony

paired this rod with a Saragosa SW 6000 30 lb line perfect for all my artificial lures plugs And Ive had great results with live bait sitting on a surf rod holder while I drink a beer and a beautiful day on the beach or night Great addition to my angling experience

Cant say enough for this rod. This is a step higher than the airwave elites. Got the 96 and love it. I dont use custom rods but this is nothing short of a custom rod for me.

Amazingly Light

I've only used the rod about a dozen times but the weight and power make it perfect for repeated long casting 1-2 oz lures. I've paired the rod with a SaltX600 which is a nice combination. The rod is so light compared to the reel.

Great rod

I have this paired with the saltx 6000 bailess and I use it strictly for plugging had a 42 pound striper hammer on this pole and I swore it was a one piece rod the action of this pole made me unsure of the weight of the fish because the rod has no dead spots I recognized yet super light layout just wish it had a hook holder but my go to setup now the Fiji k guides are super smooth… read more and pretty durable no scratches or anything even hooking my plugs on the guide
