Never take a knife to a gun fight… I am sure you have heard of this phrase before. What it simply means is that for everything you intend to there are a proper tools to help you. Say you are going to go fishing for sailfish, would you bring your ultralight pond fishing rods? You can, but should a sailfish take your bait, you will be kissing your rod, line, and sailfish goodbye. The saddest thing is that the sailfish may die being entangled by your broken line. So, to fight a giant, bring along a giant slaying weapon and not your pen despite the saying that the pen is mightier than the sword.
If you are heading out to sea with the intention of duelling with the hard fighting fishes that live there, you will need a tough rod with good backbone power. The Penn Fierce Jig rod is one of the fishing rods that you can consider.
