About this rod
The 85F is designed to cast small lures exceptional distances while retaining the strength needed for hard-fighting tuna. Built around a tenacious, forgiving blank, this rod allows anglers to confidently high-stick without the constant fear of rod failure, delivering a new-generation tuna rod that balances tolerance, power, and long-cast performance.
- Long-distance finesse casting β easily launches small lures with PE3β6 lines
- Wide lure versatility β handles lightweight 18g lures right through to 120g offerings
- Tolerant, bendy blank β reduces breakage risk when high-sticking under load
- Next-generation tuna design β exceeds traditional line and knot strength expectations
- Surprising lifting power β capable of controlling tuna over 50kg
- Multi-species performer β equally at home casting for tuna and kingfish in local waters
