The Daiwa Proteus Boat Tuna Rod is built for anglers targeting some of the strongest fish in the ocean. Designed for offshore tuna fishing, shark fishing, and other heavy-duty saltwater applications, the Proteus Boat Tuna series delivers exceptional lifting power, durability, and fish-fighting performance when tackling large gamefish.
Constructed on a powerful, high-strength blank, the Proteus Boat Tuna Rod provides the backbone needed to battle hard-charging tuna, powerful sharks, large amberjack, wahoo, and other offshore predators. Whether fishing live bait, chunk bait, trolling offshore spreads, or deploying large baits for sharks, this rod is engineered to handle extreme pressure and prolonged fights.
The boat-focused design excels in rod holders, around the transom, and during stand-up battles with powerful fish. Premium components, durable guides, and a heavy-duty reel seat are built to withstand braided line, high drag settings, and the punishment that comes with serious offshore fishing.
Popular with offshore anglers throughout the Gulf Coast, the Proteus Boat Tuna Rod has become a versatile option for targeting everything from blackfin tuna and wahoo offshore to large sharks from boats, piers, and beaches.
