Saltywater Tackle 3rd Generation Outer Banks 500 BFT Jigging Rod

The 3rd Generation OBX 500 represents the evolution of our proven bluefin tuna platform, refined through years of real-world testing on giant fish. Building on the battle-tested foundation of the 2nd Generation, we’ve engineered significant improvements to the blank construction by increasing the fiberglass percentage. This creates a more parabolic bend profile that delivers an angler-friendly fighting angle during extended battles, reducing fatigue while maintaining the exceptional strength needed to handle fish over 200 pounds. The enhanced glass layup provides superior shock absorption during brutal head shakes and sudden runs, giving you more control without sacrificing the raw lifting power demanded by mini giants. Designed specifically for targeting bluefin tuna that have pushed beyond traditional jigging rod capabilities, this is a rod built to endure the kind of abuse that breaks lesser tackle.
Target Species 200lb to 300lb
