Dears,

my friend received a rod to try to cacht tuna with an alutecnos 80/130. This rod is made in USA with a label Hemingway...I didn't find any information on the web. Someone of you are able to give me  more details?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Decent mass merchant rod in it's time, don't know anyone that fishes 80s and 130s other than some commercial guys anymore. That is a heavy outfit to go after anything other than giants. Unless one is going to be in a chair, or "fight" the fish from the holder, that's way overkill. I'd keep it as a wall decoration.

Did anyone catch the Hemingway Series? "Hunting submarines" has become a joke between the Mrs and I.

Thanks for your info.

I'll get your advice even because there aren't giant to cacht where we use to fish.

Maybe fixed it on the wall will give more satisfactions.

With braid these days, most people pick smaller lighter lever drags like Avocet and Seigler.
