Shimano TMSEX70MH Teramar Inshore Northeast 7ft Spinning Rod

Bought this for Fluking because I wanted Something more versatile Wow you can feel everything on this rod in 60 feet of water and has no problem bringing these fluke off the bottom. I have caught bluefish, and fluke I can’t believe the sensitivity of this rod

I brought medium heavy extra fast 7ft rod. I tried this rod out on black sea bass, fluke so far. This rod is more sensitive then I thought. When you get a fish on, this rod has great parabolic bend. My thoughts are if you are going for good size stripped bass I would get the heavy action model of this rod.

I grabbed a TMSEX76MH for early season stripers on Cape Cod. The rod is rated 1/2-1 1/2 but I think it will throw much heavier. It casts the 1/2oz ok but I was also able to throw 2oz without issue. I have the rod paired with a stradic 5000 and it is super lightweight. I feel like this setup should even do well with bigger stripers from the boat. Giving 4 out of 5 just because I think the lure rating is a little off. That being said this rod should be even more versatile than I thought.

The 7 foot medium is perfect for Hogfishing and subtle snapper bites. This rod is super light, super sensitive but has all the backbone you need to lift something big up off the bottom. I have caught keeper grouper while knocker rig fishing with shrimp on this rod and had no issues getting them up. This is the ideal rod for fishing with a 3000-5000 size reel with 20-30 pound test. I always have 2 of these exact rods with a 4000 and a 5000 stradic on them. These are the only spinning rods I use offshore anymore and eventually I will buy 2 of the medium heavy 7 footers and keep 4000 stradics on the medium and the 5000 stradics on the medium heavy. Just be careful not to crush the guides, they will easily bend.

I have the 7'6 model paired with a Shimano Stella 6000 and it is one of my favorite setups for inshore striped bass fishing. the rod has more than enough power to pull large fish out of the rocks. my only gripe with the rod is the action is a little slower than advertised, i did not realize in the store when i purchased it but when working soft plastic twitch baits. The action pales in comparison to rods such as the Saint Croix Avid which I also have in the 7'6 and is much better for this application. I do love this rod but just not as advertised. Would be well suited for pitching live bait off a bait runner or working conventional plugs for sure.

Great little rod for inshore fishing. Split grip is a nice bonus.

can't say much about it yet cause it was purchased during winter but quality is great, can't wait to try it out this spring from boat!
