Catch of the day [Fishing]

So here this about the average size I use for Tuna in Morocco....
In May, I am going to Oman after predominantly Giant Trevally, I will use this some of the time:
"Some", because it is exhausting, both to cast and then to retrive very quickly whilst bouncing the tip of the rod (this creates a darting splashing on the surface). I can do about 20 casts, then move on something less tiring to fish with....

Never fished them before, but they look good.
This one is made by a guy in UK to my spec. It has caught me my biggest Tuna to date, but it is VERY difficult to fish properly and requires a lot of concentration

@Giles Quite large with the heft to go with it. I was looking at this company yesterday and was wondering if you fished any of these:

Like any fishermen, I’m sure you have your biases to colors, brands, etc., but I always do enjoy seeing what’s out there.

@Giles So a lot of action in the tip with a really strong (stout) backbone. I thought with such a large and powerful fish that you would want a longer rod for the battle and that a shorter rod would tire “you” out faster than the “fish”.
Must be a delicate balance of letting the fish run and pulling him back in…
