Hybrid Conventional Rod: Parabolic Action 5'6" MH

Sale price$195.00

100% Hogy Satisfaction Guarantee
Ultra-Fast Shipping

We've designed this ultra-fun rod to be the perfect blend of parabolic action, length, weight, and function for light tackle inshore and offshore trolling. This no-frills workhorse conventional rod addresses the challenges we've had finding suitable tackle for trolling and jigging.

Why Parabolic Action and what is it? These rods offer a softer bend from the rod tip towards the butt section. This forgiving utility allows the angler to feel every pull of the drag and stroke of the fish's tail. This forgiveness is beneficial for trolling, allowing the rod to absorb the strike and offer firm hook sets while used for trolling applications.

The Hogy Hybrid Conventional Rod is built for pairing with compact, high-performance conventional reels, these rods are fantastic for lead-core & in-line weight trolling applications. A favorite technique for targeting Striped Bass, Bluefish, and school-sized Bluefin Tuna.

Hogy Perfect Trolling Rod Features:

  • Ultra-Flex Parabolic Action
  • Easy To Store 5'6" Length
  • Premium-Grade Cork Grip
  • Graphite Reel Seat
  • Lead-Core Knot-Friendly Guides

Recommended Reels:

  • Avet LX6/3 2-Speed
  • Daiwa Saltist STTLD30-2SPD

    Great lookin rods

    I bought these rods actually for next season I am thinking of using Shimano’s Speedmaster two speed. I will rig them for jigging and live bait, but also possible on the troll. I gave them 5 stars because of the looks, feel and I believe they will work great!

    Excellent rod for tuna - versatile!

    Love these rods. As a charter captain on a Center Console where space is at a premium, these rods perform and allow for versatility. I use these when I am trolling for tuna in my 5 rod spread and then can convert them to jigging as we switch up tactics. I'm a big fan! This video is of us landing a 59 inch rec tuna in Sept 2023
