Shimano TESIS70MC Talavera Inshore Spinning Rod 7′ 8-15lb.

Shimano 7′ Talavera Inshore Spinning Rod, 8-15lb.

Designed to target the full range of inshore species from New England to the Gulf Coast, the Shimano Talavera Inshore Spinning Rods are a versatile and affordable option for any backwater or near-shore angler. The Talavera Inshore series features an array of lengths and power ratings to cater towards use with a variety of baits and lures. Models range from those light enough to present small jigs and soft plastics on the flats to more powerful rods for slinging large plugs to big stripers or snook. There’s even the perfect model for drifting live baits for tarpon.

The Talavera’s strong, lightweight blank is wrapped with SeaGuide Zirconia guides for rock solid durability and optimized casting performance. All models feature comfortable full-grip cork handles and a tried-and-true Fuji reel seat. The 6-1/2 foot through 7-1/2 foot models are fitted with a soft, compressed cork butt end for better comfort when fighting fish with the rod butt against your waist or mid-section, while the 8-foot model features a rubber gimbal that securely fits into a rod holder or a fighting belt for additional support.
