TIAGRA - Custom trolling rods have always had a strong appeal to the big game fisherman. Custom rods look great, use top quality components and are assembled well - just like the Tiagra. I.G.F.A trolling rods. The blanks - Tiagra uses 100% fibreglass because it's durability can't be beaten. The actions are very stout, more so than most other rods on the market. The curved butt TI-50B rods blank's action has been made heavier than that of the straight butt TI'50s since curved butts provide more leverage. The guides - All guides are AFTCO heavy or super heavy duty roller guides. All guides are triple wrapped for extreme durability. The butts - All butts are sturdy AFTCO machined aluminium unibutts. Two line weights of Tiagra are available, both in straight and curved butt models. The look - Tiagra has a brilliant golden blank and 3 colour guide wraps. It looks great with our brand new Tiagra trolling reels.
