This model has been designed with the power to overcome both the blue-runners and the black-fin seabass. It is not simply a harder and stiffer rod, but will bend tenaciously with the sudden run of the Kingfish. It is also ideal for fishing in heavy seas and strong head winds to target the monster class black-fin. Although it is a powerful rod, the tip section has been build with some flexibility for anglers to punch out those smaller lures. The belly to butt section of the rod is a HH class and has the strongest power of the lineup.
