SODWANA 5'5 50-80 1P
The Sodwana is Williamson's answer to anglers who need a purpose-built, one-piece big-game rod without paying premium prices. At 1.73m (5'8") and rated 50–80g, this stiff, single-section blank is ready for the deep blue.
The Sodwana blank is engineered with a stiff action and exceptional backbone, giving you the lifting power to handle powerful pelagic fish during prolonged fights. Despite its stiffness, the blank remains responsive under load — you feel the fish, not just the weight.
A roller tip guide is positioned at the point of maximum line angle and stress, significantly reducing friction and heat build-up during a hard run or extended battle. The Performance Slick Butt protects the rod in a holder and adds stiffness to the lower section, while the aluminium reel seat and aluminium gimbal complete a hardware package built for serious offshore use.
