Using all the same components as Ian's original custom builds, it is now readily available and also even more affordable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new slightly lighter model is ideal for average sized swordfish, or anglers that want an easier loading blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot just another stand-up rod blank dressed up for daytime sword fishing, this exclusive design custom blank is perfect for chasing daytime swords;\u003cbr\u003eThe multi-loading action has the perfect amount of tip flex to clearly show the swordfish 'bite', so you can be ready for teasing and hook-up. The smooth fighting action of the blank doesn't 'shut-off' too quickly which can pull hooks - instead it has the right amount of mid-flex to help absorb heavy head-shakes and remove harsh pressures from the hook-hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe low-down fighting power of these blanks kicks in just when it's really needed to provide the angler with fire-power to take the fight to the fish. This blank is rated '#50-80' and can fish a wide range of drag pressures all the way up to 15kg! Unlike other rods, it won't wilt and bend into the reel seat when you need it to back you up...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a custom built rod, the Millerods #50 SwordFight has already accounted for several large swordfish, including many fish over the 500lb mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique loading action of this blank also makes for a very versatile rod that suits marlin and tuna fishing as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eYou now have the choice of upgrading your detachable alloy butt to the Winthrop adjustable 'Terminator' butt.
