When targeting a selective fish like the Blue Fin Tuna, a rod must be able to handle various lures ranging from 30gm to 120gm. Furthermore with a monster class fish weighing over 100kg, a line rating of PE#12 is required. This posed contradictory requirements for rod builders like us. If we seek for casting distant, the rod power is sacrificed and if power is increased, lighter lures are unusable.
So in order to meet both these requirements of power vs light lures on PE#12 line, we conducted extensive testing for the placement of the guides to overcome this challenge.
