With many years of fantastic captures to their name, the Backbone Elite series of game rods have long been the perfect match for Shimano’s TLD and Tyrnos reels. Strength and versatility are key factors. They have the ability to troll lures for marlin and tuna, or to live bait for kingies and jewfish on inshore wrecks and reefs. No matter what species you chase, these rods can handle it. There are eight models ranging from 10kg right up to 37kg, they come with a variety of guide styles from standard heavy duty fixed guides with and without roller tips, to fully rollered, full blown game rods that cover every situation. All rods feature holographic scale finishes that really set off the graphite composite blank, Slick Butts for easy removal from rod holders when the bite happens, gold anodised Pacific Bay gimbals and reel seats, Pacific Bay guides, and super long and comfortable grips
