Meri (i.e. ‘Sea’) rod range was designed and developed to meet the criteria of demanding saltwater fishing. Meri rods are targeted at saltwater fishing from the cold waters of the Baltic Sea to the flats of the tropics. These rods have a powerful progressive action with a fast recovery speed that makes them a real joy to cast. However, Meri rods are not as fast rods as Merisuola Graphene or Stifu Seatrout so if you enjoy the softer touch of saltwater rod (Medium fast+), Meri rods are made for you.

In a South African context, the rods perform really well for species such as Tigerfish, Largemouth Yellowfish, Grunter, Kob, and Garrick.
