Designed primarily for deploying and positioning a hooked bait in front of a marlin or tuna, and it is also great to troll conventionally with a lure or bait either live or rigged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blank is based on an advanced blended graphite construction. This creates a beautifully balanced rod that is light in the hand but still robust, the power being most suitable for 24kg and 37kg line classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 6’0” the rod is designed to be able to easily and quickly deploy a rigged bait into the wake and short enough to be user-friendly when fighting fish with heavy drag. The ‘POWER TRIP’ blank design boasts a user-friendly tip action that’s easy to load, while the lower half of the rod has plenty of fight in reserve once the rod loads and power is tripped!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1pc blank construction is designed to be as robust as possible while still being light in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle section is boat-friendly for a wide range of rod holders, and the reel height is comfortable to fish with by a wide range of anglers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting at the butt end, an alloy gimbal fitting locks the outfit in place when in a rod holder or gimbal belt. The rear grip is a hard-wearing ‘slick butt’ synthetic rear grip that guarantees smooth operation when moving the rod into and out of rod holders, even when under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fuji reel seat carries the longer ‘LD’ locking hood for easier tightening of a large spin reel and an alloy extension makes it easier to fit the large feet of spin reels used for game fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fore grips are Ian’s original split grip design in x-hard blue Camoufish EVA. This unique design has several advantages, including a shorter grip next to the reel seat for general handling; a longer fighting grip for a higher reach to reduce leverage while fighting; the gap between grips allows for a positive grip when performing a hook-set, holding the loaded rod while positioning into a gimbal belt, and an easy option for wrapping a webbing attachment if a harness is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll grips are custom shaped for fish fighting and trimmed with alloy winding checks in gun metal colour. All other handle components are trimmed with gun metal coloured alloy separators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIan’s guide train of choice for this rod is the Fuji ‘Slim Ring’ SiC ceramics in KW frame style for tangle-free operation, including an extra-large stripper guide. This gives smooth operation for both free-spooling and fighting, excellent knot clearance for all conventional knot types and low line friction via SiC ceramics, stainless steel frames are the latest shiny grey colour plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘POWER TRIP’ ShortSwitch 601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6'0\" 1pc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth fast loading action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended line test 24kg-37kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuji Slim Ring SiC KW multi-guide train (6+1 with #12 smallest size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Millerods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47220404322473,"sku":"MILLER.SHORTSWITCH","price":625.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2374\/9289\/files\/TackleShack__35_7fa809d2-88d8-4849-9063-695064e1728c.jpg?v=1782369939","url":"https:\/\/tackleshack.com.au\/products\/millerods-shortswitch-601","provider":"Tackle Shack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
