A heavy-duty series of stand up rods for those targeting large pelagics, the Shimano Talavera Bluewater Roller Tip Uni-Butt Conventional Rods are built to meet the demands of the toughest offshore trolling applications. Featuring extremely powerful rod blanks and the most rugged components, this series is designed to pair with your 50 and 80 class reels to target massive game fish that lesser rods simply wouldnt handle. These rods feature nearly indestructible ALPS aluminum straight uni-butts that quickly and easily slip out of rod holders and lock into your fighting belt with an aluminum gimbal. Equipped with heavy-duty Fuji Aluminum Oxide Ring Guides (non-roller turbo guides), these rods can be effectively fished with both monofilament and braided lines. The addition of an AFTCO Roller Tip allows for smooth line pay out under heavy drag pressures while trolling. Sure to fit well in the arsenals of pelagic trophy hunters on any coast, this series provides the strength and reliability youll require when battling big wahoo, marlin, tuna, and more.
