With a fast action and a fairly stiff tip this rod is the ideal tool for working Samsonlures and other lures from rocky ledges and beaches. I bought this rod mainly to use casting into surf on sandy beaches to get the extra distance on 30g+ metals like the surf seeker.
The hook up ratio is very high with the composite. The long cast has been thoroughly tested on a variety of fish and has proven more than capable of dealing with large Corvina in South Africa, 40lb Tuna from the shores of Australia, 50lb Roosterfish and a range of snappers, Jacks, and large Snook in Central America. These rods are on the money man I use my 66 for close quarter square bill work in hard to cast places. The Samson Long Cast Todos 12ft Spinning Rod has been designed to target bass and many other species from the shore.
