Features & Angler Benefits

• Extreme Heavy Power (XXH): The 3050lb class rating and massive 200600g casting/lure weight capacity provide the brute strength required for handling heavy jigs, baits, and sinkers in deep water and fighting the largest game fish like cod, halibut, wreck fish, and large pelagics.
