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 – easily launches small lures with PE3–6 lines
  • Wide lure versatility – handles lightweight 18g lures right through to 120g offerings
  • Tolerant, bendy blank – reduces breakage risk when high-sticking under load
  • Next-generation tuna design – exceeds traditional line and knot strength expectations
  • Surprising lifting power – capable of controlling tuna over 50kg
  • Multi-species performer – equally at home casting for tuna and kingfish in local waters
