trevala vs OTI

JfISHkING · 10-09-2009, 04:44 PM

just wanted to hear some thoughts on which rod is better for jigging tuna.

6 foot 300g conventional OTI rod

Vs

XXH F series TFS58XXH

VS

XXH V series TVC58XXH

I would love to hear anything back on the aforementioned rods, as i am looking at all three of them.

Thanks.

i am probably a little bias being a OTI dealer.

but,
they are well made.
the 300 has a soft tip for working the jig, and can handle 20# of drag.
for most of the fish in our area its enough rod.
you didnt say what size fish you target.

if you are needing it for bigger fish the 600g is a good choice.

Trevalas have a slow action. The OTI's are more of a medium action. The new G3 OTI are light as a feather.

which do you think provides the jig with a more natural movement, the faster or slower taper?
