TackleDirect Platinum Hook Tournament Billfish Rods:

The durable E-Glass blanks utilized in these rods feature a softer, more parabolic action that leads to a higher percentage of quality hook sets and less pulled hooks when targeting sailfish with circle hooks. The heavy-duty Fuji SIC Guides are an ideal choice for lighter monofilament lines, ensuring smooth line dispersion. The unique handle configuration of a Winthrop Epic Butt and premium quality cork foregrip are comfortable to fish with and give the rod a one-of-a-kind styling.

Features:

• E-Glass Blank
