Ok, here's the deal..
This past year the old man upgraded his boat and put in considerably more time offshore than in years past, so for Xmas/Birthday (10days apart) My Bro and I are looking into some new sticks for his arsenal, which is my job since baby Bro is a golfer, not a fisherman..

I've used a bunch of different sticks over the years chasing tuna and sharks; Sabre's, Seekers, Penn Slammers... But wondering which rods you guys that put in a lot of time offshore thought gave the best bang for the buck.. looking to go something that will handle a 50TW with 80lb mono, so rated 50-100 or so, and 6ft or 5'6 cause we troll and chunk, dont like them long chair rods....

Thanks!
Bryan
