THE BEST TUNA ROD ON THE MARKET! Sure you can pay more but you won't find a better tuna fighting rod. The TTCR80 is designed to balance strength and flexibility. It has a 80 lb tip adapted to a 130 bent butt. This allows you to use either a 130 or 80 class reel. The TTCR80 will give you less pulled hooks and more landings.
