The Tallus Trolling Ring Guided series covers eleven models designed for boat trolling applications including tuna, swordfish, and grouper fishing on both coasts. All models use TC4 blank construction, which provides a lighter overall weight than traditional glass or composite blanks while maintaining appropriate actions for trolling. Guides are Fuji O-ring throughout. All blanks feature a slick butt section.
Lengths span 5'9" through 7'6" with power classes from medium through extra-extra-heavy. Most models carry fast action, but the two XF (extra fast) models at 7'0" and 7'6" are differentiated for applications requiring a quicker tip response. Foregrip lengths run from 10 to 13 inches depending on the model.
Pricing ranges from $209.99 for the TLC76MHSBK to $329.99 for the TLC66HSBBLA. The wide range of lengths and powers within one series gives anglers significant flexibility in matching rod to technique and target species.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
5'9" heavy, fast action at $289.99. One step heavier than the MH in the 5'9" length class, adding backbone for larger trolling targets. Same Fuji O guide train and slick butt construction.
5'9" medium-heavy, fast action at $279.99. The shortest medium-heavy trolling model in the series. The compact length suits anglers fishing from outriggers or in tight fighting chair setups. Fuji O guides with 12.5-inch slick butt.
5'9" extra-heavy, fast action at $289.99. The heaviest standard-power 5'9" model, for targeting the largest species at close-range trolling. Matches price with the H model despite a power step up.
5'9" extra-extra-heavy, fast action at $299.99. The only XXH model in the 5'9" length, with a 13-inch foregrip compared to 10 inches on the other 5'9" models. Intended for the heaviest big-game trolling applications in the series.
6'6" heavy, fast action at $329.99. The highest-priced model in the series. The 6'6" heavy combination is a common choice for spread trolling with larger lures and heavier lines targeting tuna and billfish.
6'6" medium-heavy, fast action at $319.99. Adds length compared to the 5'9" models for more rod bend and lure action during trolling. Suited to kingfish, wahoo, and mid-range offshore species.
7'0" heavy, fast action at $319.99. The heaviest standard-power 7-foot model, appropriate for heavier live bait or larger trolling lures where the length and power combination provides good leverage and lure action.
7'0" medium-heavy, fast action at $269.99. Transitions the series into 7-foot blanks. The extra length softens the tip slightly and adds lure action at trolling speeds. 12-inch slick butt.
7'0" medium-heavy, extra fast action at $219.99. One of two extra-fast action models in the series and the lower-priced of the 7-foot MH options. The XF taper delivers a quicker tip response, useful for specific lure types or species.
7'0" medium, fast action at $249.99. The lightest power available in the 7-foot blank, suited to lighter trolling lines or smaller lures targeting species like mahi-mahi or smaller kingfish.
7'6" medium-heavy, extra fast action at $209.99. The longest model in the series and the lowest-priced despite being the longest blank. The extra fast action and 7'6" length make this a more specialized trolling or kite fishing tool.
