This is a fabulous rod for snapper and Kingfish fishing. The flex at the tip and strength at the butt make it perfect for fighting the big ones.

Great action that can handle higher line classes than it's rated for. This is my second Taipan rod.

Perfect boat rod for fishing in the bay. Love the bend in a one piece rod. Matched up with a 4000 baitrunner, what a combo. Light and robust,
a very responsive and lightweight little rod. Paired nicely with a Shimano Nasci 3000, great combo.
Nice looking rod.Backbone was good ,casts light baits well .Mates well with a shimano baitrunner with 20lb mono.Got me a couple small snapper its first time on on the water.
Bought this last weekend and already running strong. Record using a 8000 or higher reel, like a Shimano Socorro. Only downside is cast range.
Not so happy with these rods. I have few of these. One of them snapped pretty easily on a snag. The other one's reel slot section became loose, the fishing reel goes around in circles on the rod and isn't set tight anymore, I had to tape it up. The only good thing I found about these rods is they have strong rod eyes/tips.
Great rod for kayak and boat fishing caught a 50cm snapper very durable and long lasting
good rod! a bit heavy tho. take sometime to practice
