Redesigned for 2019, the new Shimano Terez Spinning Rods are stronger, lighter, and better suited to dominate the blue water than ever before. Featuring Shimano's Spiral-X and Hi-Power X construction, the new Terez is built on one of the world's most advanced blanks and is fitted with all custom components for a rod that is truly built to perfection. Spiral X construction consists of multiple layers comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions, resulting in enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This construction results in an extremely responsive rod that allows for instant power transmission and greatly enhances fish fighting capabilities. Spiral X blanks are 250% more structurally rigid and 180% less prone to twisting than standard blank construction. These advanced blanks are equipped custom Shimano Aluminum Reel Seats and wrapped with all new Fuji BKW Alconite frame guides. The 2019 Terez series covers a wide spectrum of offshore angling techniques by consisting of 12 casting models, 9 spinning, and 2 rail rods. Whether you’re fishing the Northeast or Southeast, Gulf Coast or West Coast, or traveling the world in search of exotic trophies, there's a Terez rod to fit any application.

Everything they said about this pole is TRUE!
November 10, 2015
This is either the best or real close to the best fishing pole I've ever fished with. It can handle just about anything, inshore, offshore, etc. Very light and the handle feels great in the hand with the finger grooves. I would highly recommend this pole to anyone that is looking for a great, durable pole.
ProsLight
Finger grooves in the handle
Nice FUJI eyes
I've fished this pole for 3 seasons and (knock on wood) have never broken one. I've broken 3 other brands this season alone trying to wrestle big black drum out from around dock pilings.
ConsThe only con I can come up with is the price, but you get what you pay for in this case.

1 Answer
The power of the rod does not necessarily matter when pairing with a specific reel. Medium or Medium-Heavy depends on your preference. The Medium 7'2 would be the best option when fishing striper and tautog. Unfortunately, Shimano does not have lure ratings for the Terez rods.

Thank you for your time and expertise.
Interested in pairing a Saragossa 8000 with a Terez for shore casting to Tarpon from 80 to 120lbs. Will be using plugs and swim baits around 2 ounces plus. Versatility would be a bonus-may also use the rod in Panama for roosterfish, cubera snapper--and if not asking too much for the rod--to use it on a kayak.
thanks

1 Answer
Both rods use the same blank. The difference is in the guides. The TZS78HBLK (Heavy) has Stainless Alconite Fuji TK guides, and the TZS78XHBLK (Extra Heavy) has Fuji LC guides. The LC guides are more conducive to casting heavier braided lines.

I’m looking for a Spinning rod 7’8†or longer that I can use with a Penn Slammer 3 - 9500 reel with 65 # power pro on it with flouro topshot to use for flylining live bait, throwing artificial or poppers for West Coast fishing. Mostly for tuna, yellowtail and White Sea Bass in the 05 to 80 pound range but occasionally larger. Can this rod fit this reel or do I need to go with something a little larger like the Tallus blue water. The only thing I don’t like about the Tallus is you can’t get anything longer than a 7’8†and they don’t come with a gimbal but.
1 Answer
I would definitely suggest the Terez over the Tallus for your applications. The 50-100 lb. line rated models would be the most appropriate. I think the 9500 is more of a reel than you will need in terms of size. Also, the reel seat on the 7'2" models is not large enough to fit a Slammer III larger than the 7500, you can however fit the 9500 on the 7'8" models, but I don't feel it is a good size match.

I would choose between the SHM-1658 which is the 7'8 Heavy, with moderate-fast action rated for 50 to 100lb test braided line. Or the SHM-1656-6 which is the 7'2 medium-heavy with fast action that is rated for 40 to 80lb test braided line. If the 7'8 is too heavy for you, than the 7'2 would match well with your reel. But, both make a good match. It is your preference of the action you would enjoy.

I am interested in a spinning outfit for Mahi Mahi fishing at the buoys in the Hudson canyon area.
I will use it on one of the many fine New Jersey party boats during Tuna chunking trips. I'm leaning towards the Saragosa 6000SW coupled with a Terez but need advice on the size and pairing. Bucktails, soft baits, cut bait are typical. I also want to use it to snag bunker while striper fishing.
Is the Saragosa 6000 appropriate in size and what rod would be a good pair? I will be using mono due to rules on the party boat, is 30lb mono appropriate?

The Terez and the Saragosa would be a great pair, but there may be some issues due to the party boat factor.
The Saragosa 6000 should not be used with 30lb mono. You would have to either size down to 12-15lb mono or get a bigger size reel to fit the thicker line. Ideally you would use braid for this application but like you said you cannot. The reason why 30lb wouldn't work is that it would hold less than 100 yards of it, which is simply not enough to tackle offshore pelagic species.
