Tsunami Carbon Shield II Casting Rods will handle all of your inshore saltwater fishing. Tsunami continues to innovate while keeping the price low. Pick up one of these rods and you’ll feel the quality, and the power. Tsunami Carbon Shield II Casting Rods are constructed of lightweight IM7 graphite mixed with D16 Nanotech that creates a powerful rod that you can fish with all day long without getting tired. They are outfitted with ALPS Aluminum-Oxide Guides that are designed for braided lines. They are light in weight but can handle a wide variety of saltwater fish. The Fuji graphite reel seat features a palm trigger that is set back a bit so when you fish with a reel that has a clamp set, the clamp set doesn’t get in your way. It’s a much more comfortable fishing experience. The cork fore and rear grips are really nice and offer the perfect combination of comfort and sensitivity when you are jigging, bottom fishing or hooked into a big fish!
