From what I understand, it's a TFO kind of line, which I've fished side by side with GLoomis and really like. Lamiglass introduced a number of models in this price range for species like steelhead as well.

I ended up getting another rod today as the 11' I bought was rated to high and was just to stiff for whipping little Zooms with 1/2 ounce jig heads so I picked up another Tsunami Trophy series today for $100 that was rated for 1 to 4 ounce and that works great. I was really looking for an 11' that was rated for like 5/8 - 3 ounce for distance but I couldnt find anything like that without spending about $300 and I just dont have money like that right now. I ended up hitting the Housy and getting 6 Stripers today. Biggest was just under 33" and smallest was about 22" Not bad for my first day back on the water. Just glad to get back out there!!!!

congrats to you hopefully more to come. I have 5 trophy rods and they r nice for the money but had nothing but problems with tip guide falling out/breaking. I had 3 rod tips replaced at tackle shop before i used them. Good luck this season. |

mine r older bout 5 or so years old. Hopefully it wont happen to u. It was a cheat and easy fix just it pissed me off that a new rod would hav that prob. The sayin goes u get what u pay for but the blanks r nice just crappie guides the oldr ones were. Now they r back ups for the back ups. Just got a mojo 10'6" for throwin light stuff yet to try it out. Cant wait for spring time |

I hated the Mojo and they had a big recall on them last year or the year before. I thought these rods were brand new, I guess I was wrong there. Were the top tips of yours like brass or is that something new on these?

yes they were. I caught some good size blues and stripers on them. The rods handled them well. 15# to 20# range no real cows. |

I had a 10'6" Mojo I fished all season before last. It was a great rod., handled its lure range well and fish to 35 lbs with no problems. Well, one problem. The first guide from the tip lost its ring after it fell in the rocks. My fault. Cut the guide off and eventually replaced it. No problems with the rod after dropping it, though. |
