Product Description
Suitable for fish between 10 and 35kg!
This 8'1" (2.46m) blank has all the hallmarks of the ideal 50lb rod. It offers ample length for numerous long-distance casts with lures weighing 40 to 120g, and its fast action allows for easy popping, even in rough seas. We opted for a hybrid length, which also helps reduce strain and shorten fights, as well as a Butt-Joint (1+1) design, making it easy to take anywhere.
The FiftyNiner is fast in action, progressive under load, robust, yet lightweight. It is made from a blend of Korean 30T and 24T Toray carbon.
During our tests, we exceeded 18 kg of load at 45 degrees, but since this is a 50 lb drag system intended for use as such, we recommend a maximum drag of 10 kg at 45 degrees.
