SwordFight Shortstroker #50-80

Developed in conjunction with Australia's leading swordfish Captains and anglers, this is the original stand-up rod designed in 2016. During fishing trips to the new productive south-eastern grounds of Australia Ian Miller was able to observe first hand the exact requirements of fishing for swords using the very latest daytime techniques and practices.

The result is the SwordFight #50, designed to be fished with either 24kg or 37kg pre-test monofilament with braid backing. The tip action allows for easy bite observation while the butt power will allow big drag settings to battle the fish.

In between is Miller's silky-smooth blank action that transfers pressure gradually to the fish to help reduce instances of pulled hooks.

Designed with a full 6+1 Fuji SiC guide train to avoid any harsh angles to the line regardless of the drag being applied. The tip-top can be upgraded to the Winthrop alloy tip-top designed for deep drop fishing.
