Description

The Proteus Tuna Special is the next evolution in big tuna rail fishing rods. Developed years ago, this technique has evolved into a much more private boat technique with the arrival of giant bluefin tuna here on the west coast. Extremely durable fore grip which is meant for resting on the rail This material is similar to tire rubber and can be moved up and down the rail without a scratch or without compressing. The long fore grip allows you to use it for leverage along multiple axis points. Fuji HD guides and HD reel seat are incorporated with the XXXH blank specific and rigorously tested blank action painted widow black.
