About this product
The Aggress IV is CRONY’s saltwater lure and shore-casting series, and the AGS4-802MH is the model most people in Dar es Salaam end up with. Eight feet and medium-heavy is the shape of rod that covers the majority of what you can reach from land here: casting metal off the rocks at Msasani, working poppers along the reef edge at low tide, or standing on a beach at dawn throwing slices at whatever is pushing bait.
The 15-40 g rating is the number to pay attention to. It covers the 20-30 g metal slices that do most of the damage on this coast, small to medium poppers and stickbaits, and 4-6 in soft plastics on a jig head. Below 15 g the blank is too stiff to load properly; above 40 g you are shortening the rod’s life for the sake of one more cast.
Blank material is Toray carbon, which is the Japanese fibre supplier CRONY uses across the Aggress line. It is a two-piece rod, so it breaks down to just over four feet and travels in a car or a rod tube without difficulty.
Decoding the model number is useful once you know the system: AGS = Aggress Spinning, 4 = fourth generation, 80 = 8 ft 0 in, 2 = two pieces, MH = medium-heavy. The same logic reads every rod in the range.
