Great for smaller anglers
Great rods for small folks, at 58 you dont have to worry about them swinging rods all over the place.
That being said these are a blast on seabass scup and fluke.
My son landed a 44 inch striped bass on one so theres plenty of backbone
631M 6ft nurse shark.
I was using this rod for red snapper, paired with a slammer 6500, and it put in some serious work. It also winched a 6ft nurse shark from about 80ft off a wreck.
Great inshore rod
great inshore rod
Best Rod Out There for the Money
I have three of these Sapphire XT Pro 6'3" rods (two spin/1 cast) and use them for snap-jigging on my deep water wreck fishing charters. When paired with a reliable 4000-series class spinning reel like the Penn Battle or Okuma Azores, or an Avet SXJ lever drag, spooled with 15-to-20 lb braid line, using 2-to-4 oz jigs near bottom structure in 100-to-200 feet of water produces non-stop… read more action with a variety of groundfish. These rods are reliable, bullet-proof and have taken triple-headers of seabass from 185-feet down with zero problems. They are strong, sensitive and extremely affordable, with no vices. My only wish is that the conventional rods be equipped with a trigger grip reel seat, but that's not a deal breaker. The casting rod can be used with 12-oz of lead without going to mush. Get one!
Great Rod for the money
This is a great rod for the money. We have two kids that we take fishing on a regular basis and have great luck with these rods. Not going to be as nice as a custom rod or some of the higher end products that are out there but good quality and very durable. Great price point
Soild bottom fishing rod
This rod has it all, lightweight, solid reel seat, and super sensitive to feel those nibbles when botto fishing for seabass or blacks
Very light weight
Perfect bottomfishing rod
Get it!
I have four of these rods now for light tackle jigging mostly for fluke and seabass they are worth every penny!!! Sensitive, strong, and at a price point that anyone can afford. Used them for 2 seasons now and they're holding strong we'll see about their longevity, but for a rod under $100 you can't beat it. Get one you won't be disappointed.
My new - Go-to Rod
Purchased this as a spare rod to keep at my summer house and wind up using it all the time!
Only downside is that I am kicking myself for spending more than 4x on another rod...
Very Happy
This is the 2nd one i have bought and will be buying more. Good rod for the price!!
Money Saver
Good rod for the price.
Great Rod, put together nicely
I fish the Florida keys I paired it with a Penn 430ss and it is a great combination, it has enough backbone to help land everything from Snook, Tarpon, yellowtails, Rainbow runners, and snappers.
just a fun rod great action at a price that fits everyone's pocket book
Great rod
Love the sensitivity of it, you feel every nibble. Nice Tautog rod
GOOD ROD
Very good rod@@
A 2500 class reel would pair nicely with the Tsunami Sapphire XT Pro Rod 6'6". If you want to make it an extra-light setup, you could go with a 2000 or 1500.
The Shimano Tranx 200 will fit well with the Tsunami Saphire 6'9".
The Shimano Tranx 200 and the Tsunami Sapphire XT Pro 6'9" casting rod would fit well together. Though you must be careful with how heavy your braid is. The reel can handle much heavier braid than the rod can.
The Tsunami SABCXTP631M Sapphire XT Pro Casting Rod would be the best model for inshore bottom fishing and light offshore bottom fishing.
