Fishing from a boat with shads, jigs, and bait requires a rod fit for the challenge. The OVERSEAS XT II boat rod delivers – it’s a slightly stiffer rod, made to accurately control the movements of the lure, while giving exceptional strength during the fight. 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, even in freezing temperatures.
