60-80lb Model for BFT
Used 60-80lb model for local bluefin trip in San Diego, CA. Casted a Shimano Pencil and caught a 80lb Bluefin that I was fighting for 30mins. I think the blank itself is very stiff.

good rod, did not fit my reel though
this rod is great for the price. the blank flexes enough to relive pressure off of you. unfortunately my penn spinfisher 9500 did not fit in the reel seat

OTI TS2 8' 60-80
I purchased this rod to use for throwing stick baits at Yellowfin Tuna off of the local head boats. There isn't much information about this rod online so I did a little testing and was able to lift a 20 lb. plate with ease and have no doubt it will lift more than that considering how beefy this rod is. The rod is stiffer than I normally like but it does cast lure far, you just have to put a lot of strength into your casts.

Great Value
Has a good back bone. I wished the tip was a bit softer. Have not used it in the field yet, but feels and looks promising.

Ts240-60
Paired it with a 14k saragosa. Great tuna popping rod

Quality Popping rod at a great price
This review is only a first impression of the OTI-TS286080 TS2. This rod feels a little stiff at first but it is rated for heavier poppers. Premium guides and reel seat and the blank just looks and feels bulletproof. The butt connection is solid. The rod is light for what it's rated for so can be fished all day. Hope this helps

Lightweight
My brother had one setup with an Avet that I used on a Texas Gulf tuna trip. Caught over a dozen black fin. Liked the rod so I bought one for myself.
