The Tenryu Red Monster Special 300 LB is a specialist lure rod built in Japan for targeting big and very big pelagic predators. In the UK, its most obvious use is fighting medium to large bluefin tuna and sharks. The tip is soft enough to cast lures up to 200g on the 250lb model and 240g on the 300lb model. Both models use a 1+1 handle plus blank section construction to ensure maximum strength and fighting power. The extended handle lets you brace properly, using your legs and a straight back to take the strain, rather than relying on your arms and risking poor posture. Ideal for working surface lures and stickbaits, the rod delivers impressive power while retaining enough flexibility to keep the action lively. Both models are extremely powerful and capable rods designed for other huge fish too, including GT's and big snappers.
