Tsunami TSCS 661MH Classic Spinning Rod

They are literally manufactured around the corner from where i live ( less than 5 miles) in Mahwah NJ and are truly fantastic. I would recommend this company to anyone, plain and simple. This is my current pole from bottom fishing to Mahi Mahi and even smaller sharks. I even caught a 300+lb shark on my tsunami reel rated for 40 lb and my tsunami pole rated for 80-100 pound line in a chum slick 10 ft from the boat and wrenched him in. My father went out and bought a $300 custom rod years back for it's lightness and sensitivity, but when i handed him my rod to hold so i could get a sandwich, he he wouldn't give it back and went out and bought one of these. The thing is so sensitive you can literally feel the types of ocean floor terrain you are on, and distinguish bites from that, and also it is light as a feather.

As expected, gresy quality at a fair price.

First trip out I had an issue after making five castes. The rod broke between the second and third guide from the tip. I'm chalking this up as a defect or even possibly a Nick the rod might have sustained during shipping from the factory to Tackle Direct. But I wanted to write this review because of the unbelievable customer service! I emailed Tackle Direct Customer Service the night of the mishap and by the end of the following business day I had already received an email with a return code for a replacement free of charge except for the fact that I have to pay to ship the broken one back first. Definitely not a problem and I'm looking forward to putting up another review for the rod once I get the replacement.

Very please with this rod. I purchased two and paired with Penn Conflict reels. Plenty of backbone for redfish and blue catfish.

Great inshore plugging rod. Build quality is that of a rod double or triple the price.

even thought i broke the tip on the 3rd day, tackle direct mailed me out a new one right away. haven't used new one since season was over on day i broke original one

Awesome rod for jigging

Was back ordered. Customer service kept me Up to date with delivery status. Very happy with the rod and the service.

A few months ago I ordered a Tsunami Classic MF spinning rod in hopes that it would replace some of my older gear. To my surprise, it was not only a better rod than I had been using, it also soon became my favorite. I promptly ordered two more rods to add to my arsenal. These rods have a great action for top-water baits, soft baits and suspending hard baits; and the fight you get with these rods is simply fantastic!

Great rod, very light and sensitive, arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

For a low budget rod, this is great. Casts well. Good feel and sensitivity

From cow bass to bottom fishing this rod will handle it no sweat. Matched with an appropriate reel and line this rod will land many fish, maybe even a trophy.

I have 4 of the 7 foot heavy rods. I was looking for a rod that I could use for inshore fishing for striped bass and bluefish to throw plugs that are for the most part 1-2 oz. and this fit the bill perfectly. I was looking at some others but they were all much more expensive and I wanted something that I was not afraid to beat up. These work great for me and I have no complaints other than the butt could be a little bit longer however it is not short by any standards. Overall I would definitely recommend this rod since it can't be beat for the price and performance.

Item was shipped fast, great products

I was comparing these rods to the Calico Jack MH rods. The CJ rods are a bit lighter, but since the action is not apples to apples I'm not sure that is a fair comparison. The Heavy action Tsunami feels confident and should fit many needs other than heavy bottom/trolling. The appearance is good, perhaps not quite as neat as the CJ rods, it is overall very acceptable.

Great little light weight kayak rod, has a really short butt that makes casting easier. Whippy. Think small baits and 2000-2500 size reels.

Great inshore fishing rod...
