Shimano Tallus Ulua rods were built especially for the Hawaii market. These rods were designed to be lightweight and strong to catch that Ulua of a lifetime. These fish (in the same family as jacks and pompano) have a well deserved reputation for being fierce fighters. Shimano TC4 construction material, along with well placed wire coil guides and our comfortable-yet-durable diamond wrap grip, provides the power needed to land trophy-sized fish from the beach, rocks or cliffs, whether you're on the Big Island, Maui or Oahu.
