My new cod/tuna jigging rod
The St. Croix rod from 4M76XHF blank is amazing. I think the rod/blank is the lightest among 7'6" rods/blanks rated to 80 lbs. The blank weighs only 5 1/2 oz and the completed rod weighs only 12 1/2 oz ! The only question is the light rod can endure heavy pressure of tuna. I am going to test the rod intensively on upcoming tuna trips. OTI's 7'6" popping blank is used for the custom conventional acid wrapped rod. Due to the recent airline new regulations, we can not carry over 7' rods for free on airplanes anymore. I found the two-piece OTI's 7'6" rods rated to 80 lbs is a good choice for trevaling on airplane and the blanks are strong enough for any tuna under 150 lbs. I even carry-on the two-piece rods on airplanes. Beautiful wrapping job by rodwinder St Croix 7'6" conventional rod ![]() ![]() OTI 7'6" conventional rod

Those are cool wraps on that OTI for a stock rod!!!
I am having a spiral wrap made right now for my saltiga 30T. This is what I have seen so far from Riley Rods down here in Carolina.
