Anesh Patel:
Here are some pic's of my Custom Synit DeepShot Seriola Elite series overhead rod being built. These are all extra options you can upgrade to when ordering a Synit Deepshot. 

SYNIT DS SERIOLA  5.1 180g -550g  Synit Antacid spiral wrap
Max 22kg Drag at 45 degrees, PE5 - PE10, jig range 180 - 550g

Hope you like what you see.......I will be breaking this rod in on some Samson in Fremantle in January and some Kingfish at White Island in NZ over New Years. i will also take it to Portland to have a go jigging some Bluefin Tuna mid next year. It is a very versatile rod due to the the jig range. Lighter jigs for targeting tuna and heavier jigs when targeting Kingfish or Samson in deepwater and strong currents.

Mark Harris:
Anesh - any comments on how the Deepshot blank action compares to a Venom?

Andy Rowe:
Hi Anesh,

Nice looking rod, what reel / line set up will you put on it? is there a similar rod for spin?

I don't know a lot about jigging but that looks like a wide jig range for 5'1", I'll be interested to hear how it handles lures at either end of the spectrum.

Please keep us updated as I'd like to hear more about what appears to be a very versatile rod based on the spec you give.

Cheers
Andy

Jamie Moir:
I've got a spin version to test on the Sambos off Perth/WA, I hope to get out over the weekend and see how it fares.

Hi Mark,

Deepshot is slightly more parabolic compared to Venom and instead of Kevlar butt reinforcement there is a 3K carbon weave low on the butt. This material change gives more lifting power with a slower action.

On a side note, one of our customers just landed a nice 58kg doggie on a V550FT 5'2" in Tanzania. The same guy fought an est 300kg bull shark to boatside with the V550FT in March this year and in Tanzania too  :) They have 2 more days to go, looking forward to the report...will be epic for sure!
