It keeps the progressive action of the range, which will suit anglers who don't like stiff blanks.

It's aimed at anglers going after the biggest fish or who want to be able to lock the drag down harder. At 2.41 m, it can be built as a spinning rod or a trolling rod, and its progressive action makes it work along its whole length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCasting at feeding fish\u003c\/strong\u003e: large poppers and stickbaits on the surface, when the tuna are feeding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive bait or fishing at anchor: mackerel, horse mackerel or sardine, within the blank's line range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrolling: another way to put the same blank to work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluefin tuna\u003c\/strong\u003e is the obvious target, but this blank also suits other big pelagic fish.
