Smith Spinning rod Smith KOZ 80 BGT

Smiththe Koz Expedition series of rods is set to become a benchmark for bluefin tuna fishing. The technical data speaks for itself, with 2m44 for 398g and a power rating of 5 to 15PE. This is the model capable of handling the biggest rushes in the series.

The Japanese brand is not shy about giving figures. It has announced a power of 150lbs capable of withstanding 20kg of drag. Fishing will turn into a real muscle-building session once the fish has been hooked.

Despite this information, this rod has a real tactile blank that's not too stiff when you hold it, and is capable of casting 30 to 50g without any problem. And the casting distances are good, even very good. So it's easy to imagine the kind of game fishing you're going to enjoy.

You can also imagine using this rod to search for very large trevally or amberjacks.

• Handle length 71cm
