Custom Synit Deepshot Seriola build pics

Im having a custom jigging rod built for an upcoming trip to New Zealand. The rod is a Synit Deepshot Seriola which will be suitable to knock over almost any fish you will encounter on a jig. Its 5'1" rated for PE5 - PE10 lines, can handle a huge 22 kg of drag and a wide jig range 180 gram - 550 gram. I cannot wait to get my hands on this rod! Graeme from Synit sent me some picks of the lower section of the build which has been completed. This rod is the same blank as the Deepshot Tuna pro (as it is badged in the Northern Hemisphere). I opted for the blue dyed blank similar to in this review.

Tuna Jigging Sydney Wide

With many weeks of large seas there was finally a break in the weather and we jumped at the chance to head out and try to catch some yellowfin tuna jigging and cubing. We only managed a couple of Albacore tuna to about 12 kilos on the jig, but it was good to put a bend in the fake lez.

We hooked up to what was either a huge yellowfin or a bluefin tuna on a cube, it hung on the surface for a few mins then when it realized it was hooked dove 700 meters down before popping the trace. I caught the last few minutes of the fight on camera.
