The Talora Copper/Leadcore series is a three-rod freshwater trolling lineup built on TC4 blank construction for use with copper line and leadcore presentations. All three models carry medium power and a mono line rating of 12-27 lb. Guides are SeaGuide wire frame. Grips are EVA with a 12.7-inch length. The series pairs with Shimano's Tekota conventional reels.
Lengths span 7'0", 8'0", and 9'0". The 7-foot model is single-piece with fast action, while the 8-foot and 9-foot models are two-piece. The 9-foot model carries moderate action compared to fast on the shorter two. All models retail from $179.99 to $199.99.
Leadcore and copper line require specific blank actions to handle the heavier line diameter and the way these systems load during a troll. The Talora series was designed with these trolling-specific demands in mind, making it a specialized freshwater trolling option.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
7'0" medium, fast action rated 12-27 lb. Single-piece construction and the shortest model in the Copper/Leadcore series. The fast action and shorter blank provide direct feel when using high-density line at shallower trolling depths.
8'0" medium, fast action rated 12-27 lb. Steps up to two-piece construction at 8 feet. The added length increases the arc of the rod bend when a fish strikes, providing a better hookset with heavier line systems.
9'0" medium, moderate action rated 12-27 lb. The longest and most moderate-action model in the series. The slower taper at 9 feet is suited for deeper leadcore or copper trolling where line stretch and rod bend need to work together.
