About this product
Crony Warrior Trolling Rod – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
The 50-80 lb class is the heavy end of a normal charter spread, and off this coast it earns its place. Blue and black marlin, big yellowfin, and the dogtooth tuna that live around the pinnacles all hit at speed and all pull hard enough that a 30-50 lb outfit becomes a long, unfair fight. Stepping up to 50-80 shortens the battle, which is better for the angler and much better for the fish if you intend to release it.
The rod itself is built to the same brief as the rest of the Tuna Warrior range: 5 ft 6 in, short and thick-walled, designed to be loaded continuously against a gunwale, a fighting chair or a stand-up harness rather than to cast. Everything is scaled up from the lighter class – the blank wall, the reel seat, the gimbal – because the drag settings it will see are roughly double.
The ST suffix is the one part of the code CRONY does not document. In the trade it is usually taken to mean a straight butt (as opposed to a bent butt), which is the configuration used for stand-up fighting rather than from a chair. We have not been able to confirm that with CRONY and we would rather tell you than assert it – if the butt configuration matters to you, ask us and we will photograph the actual rod before you order.
The rest of the code reads plainly: PTWTR for the Tuna Warrior trolling family, 56 for 5 ft 6 in, and 5080 for the 50-80 lb line class.
