Anyone have any experience with the SALTIGA S-EXTREME 56HFS??

Hey guys, looking at getting one of these for a joint b'day/xmas present from my GF. Anyone got any info on these rods? I have heard good things myself but would love to hear what you guys think. Ill be using it for  Trolling Tuna (Portland, Vic), Jigging Samsons and kings, and trolling for other bigger pelagics

Thanks in advance!

Pat

How does the OH 56 go allrounder?

I've heard that the combijerk are killer sticks, i looked into them as well but thought i might be better getting something a little heavier.

doesnt get much use around town as i have a couple of concept rods that i love to death.Gets a run up north every trip though.Dont know how it would go as a trolling rod as i have gear set up just for that.

Ah cool. Thanks for that

Ah cool. Thanks for that mate. Iv seen a few dvds where they have been used trolling for big mackies , sailfish and tuna etc. Although obviously not being ideal trolling rods they seemed to do the job ok. A trolling set up is probably a while off.. arrrrgghh!! I wish i had more money!! haha

Cheers
