Used these rods for a week on Lake Superior trolling with downriggers. The fiberglass blank is strong and responsive. The stainless steel guides handle heavy line loads without skipping. EVA grip is comfortable even after long sessions. Great for salmon and striper fishing.
Evan Fisher –
Solid performance in cold water conditions. The reel seat stays secure and the line runs smoothly. A bit stiff at first, but settles in. Would recommend for serious trolling setups.
Una McGrath –
Perfect for my Dipsy Diver setup. The titanium oxide guides stay clean and don’t wear down quickly. The rod feels balanced and responsive when casting long distances.

Felt durable during a multi-day trip. The EVA grip reduced hand fatigue. Not the lightest rod, but it holds up well under pressure and keeps line flow consistent.
