Model notes
All 2 models TWSF1530S80 Spinning · 8' · MH
Heavier 15-30lb line rating in a shorter 8' blank, more suited to pier, jetty, or boat use than open surf. The narrower length limits casting distance but suits close-range heavier presentations.
TWSF1025S12 Spinning · 12' · MH
The full surf configuration, 12 feet of reach for distance casting from the beach. Lighter 10-25lb line class keeps casting weight lower. Two-piece breakdown makes it manageable for transport.
