Designed to muscle big kingfish in shallow water with precision and control.

The MST 711-8+ is built for anglers chasing large kingfish feeding on oversized bait like flying fish or dorado — the kind of bite where big lures and brutal power are a must. With a comfortable casting range up to 180g, it’s perfect for large stickbaits and poppers, especially when working structure or shallow reef edges.

This model is ideal for anglers who want serious backbone without the bulk of a heavy GT rod. The blank loads progressively under pressure, making it more forgiving and easier to control during long fights — especially for anglers with smaller builds or those fishing all day. Despite its moderate length, it delivers explosive power when needed and even holds its own in GT territory.

If you’re looking for a rod that bridges the gap between finesse and force — something that can throw big lures, soak pressure, and beat monster kingfish in close — this is it.

• Ideal Use: Inshore or island-based fishing with large stickbaits and poppers
• Angler Type: Suited to a wide range of anglers, including those after a slightly more forgiving and user-friendly blank than full GT rods

Powerful, versatile, and easy to fish — the MST 711-8+ is a serious tool for serious kingfish hunters.
