TALLUS TROLLING STANDUP
Offshore standup trolling rod in curved or straight carbon butt, three power classes
The Tallus Trolling Standup is a six-rod offshore trolling series available in two butt configurations: curved carbon butt (SC) and straight carbon butt (SS). Both configurations are offered in medium-heavy, heavy, and extra-heavy power. All six models measure 5'6" total length with fast action and single-piece blanks. AFTCO roller stripper and tip guides are fitted at the critical stress points, with Fuji Aluminum Oxide guides filling the intermediate positions.
The carbon butt sections, whether curved or straight, reduce overall rod weight compared to traditional aluminum or composite butts while maintaining strength. EVA front grips are custom shaped to improve leverage and comfort during extended standup fights. Foregrip lengths are 10 inches on the curved butt models and 10 inches on straight butts.
Pricing runs from $499.99 (MH) to $519.99 (XH) across both configurations. The series is aimed at standup big-game fishing for tuna, wahoo, mahi-mahi, and other offshore species.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 6 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.

Model notes
All 6 models5'6" medium-heavy, fast action with curved carbon butt. The lightest power in the SC butt configuration. Suited to mid-range offshore species in standup harness applications. AFTCO roller stripper and tip, Fuji Aluminum Oxide intermediates.
5'6" heavy, fast action with curved carbon butt. Mid-power SC model at $509.99. The curved butt shape is designed to seat in a fighting belt or gimbal and distribute load across the angler's body during long fights.
5'6" extra-heavy, fast action with curved carbon butt at $519.99. The most powerful SC model, intended for the largest offshore species where maximum lift is required. Same AFTCO roller guide configuration.
5'6" medium-heavy, fast action with straight carbon butt at $499.99. The SS butt configuration seats differently in a gimbal than a curved butt and is preferred by some standup anglers. Same power and guide train as the SCBLA version.
5'6" heavy, fast action with straight carbon butt at $509.99. Mid-power straight butt model. Functionally equivalent to the SC heavy but in straight butt geometry for anglers who prefer that fit in their harness or belt cup.
5'6" extra-heavy, fast action with straight carbon butt at $519.99. Heaviest power in the straight butt configuration. The XH power class is suited to the largest offshore game fish targeted with standup technique.
