Rated to cast 5 to 10ozs, this rod is capable of casting heavy weights and big baits well away from the boat for summer rays, bass and tope, also for big winter cod. The supple tip sets over well in to the tide, but reacts quickly to drop back bites, and the rapid transfer of power in to the lower mid-section and butt gives the power to fight big fish back to the boat against a fast tide run.
