Rated 5 out of 5Â by Paganini The best for big fish
I bought a Tiger rod six month ago and I had the oportunity to try it jigging for Peruvian sea bass and trolling for grouper .
I consider this is my best rod for this type of fishing. I caught several 20 pound groupers and many 6 lb sea bass and I landed easily all of them.
Tiger rods are very good, strong rods, and the tip very sensible, one can trust 100 % these rods. I will buy two more of them.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by crashfire1 Big fish rod!
We use two of these rods on the Columbia River for keeper size (42"-60") and oversize (60"+) sturgeon. They are great. There is a ton of back bone to really pull on the big guys but light enough to feel the little hits. A guide that I talk to recomended this rod and that is all he uses. He landed a 16 footer last year with one. He also uses them for tuna.
One is paired with a Penn 330 with 50lbs mono and the other with a 320 and 50 lbs brade.
Best rod out there and you can not beat the price!

Rated 1 out of 5Â by cliffjumper Lucky for BPS...
2 piece 50#-rated, spinning and casting Tiger rods.
Lucky for BassPro they didn't stock these rods when I was buying them. I ordered one each, spinning & casting for my cliff fishing in the salt. I need 2 piece rods to get through the bush and climbing up & down the rockpiles I frequently fish, or you just break the rod, get hung-up in bush or fall off a cliff when your rod jams your stomach as tips hits the rocks 7'-9' ahead of you.
EVERY one of these rods, after 3 shipments of 2 each, have ferrules that didn't fit well, AND were muli-fractured by the trim-saw operator in the factory. Not shipping damaged, but manufacturing damage.
That's the one-star rating.
The "recomend to friend" is because, when I finally got one spinning version which was not broken, it does as required very well.
In fact, were it not for the fact you must buy these rods in person, inspect and fiddle with each rod until you get one perfect in order to avoid buying already broken rods...
...These are a slam-dunk nice rod.
Cheers!, and inspect the 2 piece rods carefully at the female ferrule...

Rated 5 out of 5Â by AVID FISHERMAN EXCELLENT ROD
I had the opportunity to use this rod on a guided cat fishing trip on Lake Marion in the Santee-Cooper lakes. It handled the biggest fish with no problem. The rod provided enough leverage to allow every one to land a big fish. An excellent rod, that's why I'm shopping for one now.

My question is: I read where the guides are Stainless Steel. How will they stand up to braided super lines? I know from years past the braided lines will cut into metal guides and ruin them.....Thank for any ideas on this.Answers

Guide size, arrangement, and orientation not to mention rod is designed to bend in different direction.
A:Â
A casting rod has a trigger on the handle and requires a baitcast reel, which sits on top of the rod. Spinning rods have no trigger and require a spinning reel, which is mounted under the rod.Q:Â

are these rods good for any kind of fishing like walleye or are they only for real big fish?
Answers
A:Â
Yes these tiger rods are what you want if your going after fish 5 to 30 lbs very tuff rod stainless eyelets be sure and select your action for the size fish your after the meduim light 12 to 30lbs has very good action even from a 1lb fish. The walleye can get pretty big I would use the meduim light action for walleye. You could use it for pan fishing if you wanted but I would select the light action for pan fish.

I would think most would find these rods a little overkill for walleye. Commonly used for big catfish or saltwater fish.Q:Â
