The Terez BW Deep Drop series consists of two short standup rods built for electric reel deep-dropping at depths of several hundred to over a thousand feet. Both models measure 4'8" with Moderate Fast action, using Hi-Power X and Spiral X blank construction over UD Glass to balance sensitivity with the lifting power required to handle heavy terminal rigs and large bottom fish. An AFTCO Swivel Tip at the end reduces line twist during retrieval with electric reels, and Fuji SiC guides line the blank.
The two models are rated Medium power at 40-80 lb and Medium Heavy at 65-100 lb, covering the line classes commonly used for tilefish, grouper, snapper, and wreckfish in deep water. Blanks are sold assembled with a conventional butt section and Fuji DPS-H reel seat. High-density EVA grips are standard across the series.
Moderate Fast action in a short blank keeps the blank from absorbing too much flex during deep electric reel work, maintaining a direct connection to the bottom rig while still providing enough give to prevent pulling hooks on large fish during the long vertical retrieve.

A closer look at notable models.
The Medium power model at 4'8" is rated for 40-80 lb line and covers the lighter end of deep-drop applications. Moderate Fast action provides enough sensitivity to detect bottom structure and bites at depth while the short blank works in a rod holder during the electric reel descent.
Medium Heavy power at the same 4'8" length handles 65-100 lb line for targeting larger tilefish or deep grouper where heavier rigs and more lifting power are needed. The AFTCO Swivel Tip reduces line twist across both models when running braid at depth on electric reels.
