Shark Rod 6ft 8in 50-130lb Penn 14/0 Colors Available

This is a new, custom crafted 50-130lb 6 foot 8 inch shark rod ..

It was built for the land base sharker that uses a big Penn reel .. it is built to accommodate reels up and including the Penn 14/0 or 16/0 reels.   It was built with a heavy duty boat guides that have zirconium insert rings. Zirconium rings are smoother, harder and dissipates heat better then any ring up to the silicon carbide rings. 

 We used 8 of these guides on this rod to insure you have the very best line weight distribution available. These guides are made to withstand the rigors of all super braids or mono lines  .... the rod blank is the new  50-130 lb e-glass / graphite blend blank from Rainshadow, it is strong and durable and exceptionally light for such a big poundage rod .. The graphite / eglass blend is exactly what the doctor ordered for land based sharking .. these rods start with the bottom 2/3s of then in graphite .. light and strong and stiff .. the top 1/3 is e glass .. more forgiving and durable .. the action on this rod blank is more parabolic then on all eglass blanks .. so you well  have the action you need to handle big fish from shore. This rod has silver heavy duty, marine grade aluminum gimbal .. . I used a 10 inch Shark skin rear butt .. seemed appropriate .. shark skin is a very tough material, it will not get slick when wet and if you feel you need more texture on the grip just take a piece of sand paper to it and rough it up a little .. I put a custom diamond wrap under the shark skin to make it easier to hold .. it will also come out of rod holders easier then rods with foam rear grips .. 

The reel seat is a 28 mm marine grade aluminum from Forecast  .. this is the largest size reel seat manufactured  .. it will accommodate very large reels up to and including the Penn 14/0 and 16/0. I put a Aftco tuna block in front of the reel seat to give you a place to put your front support clamp, this will keep it off the front foam .. the fore grip is a triangular 13 inch EVA foam grip that we had manufactured to our specifications .. it is very easy to hold .. the triangular shape will help you keep the rod from twisting and turning .. It is also much easier on your hands in a prolonged fight then the traditional round grips ...we have found the 13 inch triangular fore grip,  is the grip of choice for the land based sharkers we've spoken with ..

The guides are under wrapped in blue
