{"product_id":"tailwalk-hi-tide-ssd-86ml","title":"Hi-Tide SSD 86ML","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis one is probably our best-selling rod of the last few years. Sub-9ft rods are becoming more popular lately and this one, at a sensible price, is proving to be one of the most reliable available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 35g rating is a little bit optimistic, but that's actually a good thing really. I'm quite happy casting a 30g metal jig on one, but more than that and they do start to struggle. A lot of the fishing we do with these shorter rods is more within the estuaries, so a 35g rating isn't necessarily necessary, and the fact that it's more like a 30g rod gives you the lightness that you need. It's still plenty powerful enough for the heaviest lures we'd want in the estuary, and it'll cast a slightly lighter lure as well if you ever need it to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an interesting rod because compared to the 90ML, which has the same ratings, this one is slightly lighter and slightly softer. That makes it a nice complementary rod rather than just a shorter version of the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tip isn't too soft or anything like that. It's just a really nice regular fast action that'll work with pretty much any lure under about that 30g maximum. That said, 30g is more for a metal jig than a surface lure. Something like a Patchinko 140 would be a bit big for this one, but the 125 is well within the range of lures it's comfortable with. Anything like a weightless soft plastic and it's a lovely rod for that sort of thing, lighter diving plugs as well. In reality it genuinely is just an all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tailwalk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56145556865350,"sku":"4516508163810","price":219.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/9299\/7190\/files\/tailwalk_hi_tide_ssd_1_3de05e8b-9ac3-428c-b639-0485a50bcd61.jpg?v=1780932204","url":"https:\/\/artoffishing.co.uk\/products\/tailwalk-hi-tide-ssd-86ml","provider":"Art of Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
