The OVERSEAS XT II offshore casting rod is just as adept when fishing in tropical waters for tuna as it is for casting stick baits in cold water conditions fishing for big coalfish. The strong backbone of the rod allows you to make a proper hookset, even at long distance and be in perfect control, due to the tip action of the rod. The high-density EVA handle is ergonomically shaped for long hours of fishing, interrupted by intense fights, so the angler can keep a solid grip on the rod in all conditions.
