Shimano - Tallus Stand Up - Saltwater Rods

Stand up rods were designed for the west coast giant yellowfin fishery. Long range anglers were looking for rods that could handle the abuse a 300-pound tuna could hand out and successfully land them. These rods originally started around 7'0" in length and have gradually become shorter as anglers realized that longer rods transferred more pressure back onto the fisherman. Shimano® has developed the ultimate line of Tallus® Stand Up rods designed to stop the baddest yellowfin tuna in their circles.
