I fought a 70-80 lbs yellowfin with 500 g Hooper rod and Torsa 30 yesterday.
The rod has enough backbone and I felt it can handle much bigger tuna.
However the thin foregrip which seems to be moving when pressured along with wobbling Torsa 30 have me some hardtime to fight. When I saw the OTI jigging rod for the first time, I thought the thick foregrip adds too much weight on the rod. But after the fight I changed my mind.
