  • 8'6" | 2pc
  • 40 - 160g
  • PE8-12

If long, accurate casting with heavy-class tackle is a priority, the 86 is the standout choice. Designed for situations where baitfish are small but tuna are still powerful, this model combines a flexible tip for easy lure loading with serious lifting strength, giving anglers control and initiative throughout the fight.

  • Long-range heavy-class design – built for distance and accuracy with larger offshore setups
  • Flexible casting tip – makes smaller lures easier to cast even when tuna are feeding selectively
  • Angler-focused bend point – pivotal point set closer to the body to reduce fatigue and increase control
  • Fight initiative – strong butt section allows anglers to dictate pressure during the battle
  • Balanced heavy performance – not overly stiff, delivering both castability and lifting power
  • 2-piece grip joint construction – strength-driven build with practical transport length
