  • Reel Seat: Equipped with a Strong DPS reel seat for securely mounting heavy conventional or spinning trolling reels.
  • Butt Section: Includes an X Gimbal for secure, non-slip seating in a rod holder or fighting harness, maximizing leverage during the battle.
• Balance: The rod is perfectly balanced for the optimal feel, helping the angler read the lures action and detect subtle bites while trolling.
