Tenryu Spike XPG SKX832S-HH, for those smaller bluefin you see.
The Tenryu Spike XPG SKX832S-HH was a rod we specifically chose to fill an important gap in our range. Whilst our heavier XPG models are perfect for casting at larger Bluefin Tuna, we wanted a lighter option for those days when the fish you're seeing are smaller and a more balanced outfit makes the fishing far more enjoyable.
At 8ft 3in (2.52m), the SKX832S-HH offers excellent casting performance with smaller stickbaits, poppers and metal lures, while still retaining the power Tenryu rods are renowned for. It has plenty of backbone to handle hard-fighting UK Bluefin Tuna, yet remains light, responsive and enjoyable to fish with all day. We are looking for those tuna in the 50lb to 100lb+ or so bracket, which we are seeing more of in the last year or two here in Jersey.
Away from UK waters, this rod also makes an outstanding intermediate-to-heavy tropical casting rod. It has the strength needed to tackle powerful species including Roosterfish, Amberjack and Cubera Snapper, making it an incredibly versatile choice for anglers planning overseas adventures.
Like all Tenryu rods, the SKX832S-HH combines exceptional Japanese craftsmanship with a lightweight, highly responsive blank that inspires confidence when the pressure is on.
