Spinning Rod UF ENGINEERING FIVE EVO SP 7.0 H Tidal Spirit

Product highlights

The FIVE EVO SP 7.0 H Tidal Spirit from UF ENGINEERING is a saltwater jigging rod designed for anglers who want to cover a wide range of techniques with a single reliable tool. Powerful without being harsh, it performs equally well with soft lures and metal jigs, for scraping techniques, cast-and-retrieve or controlled vertical fishing under the boat.

Its 7' length offers an ideal compromise between maneuverability and line control. It allows precise casting toward a feed, animating a shad above a drop-off or piloting a jig while drifting, while keeping excellent control of the fish during the fight, even in rough sea conditions.

Designed to handle up to 140 g in vertical jigging, this rod has a generous power reserve in the blank. You can face strong currents, fast drifts and powerful fish without losing comfort or responsiveness. At the same time, its high sensitivity faithfully transmits lure vibrations, bottom changes and the faintest bites.

Made in Japan, the FIVE EVO SP 7.0 H Tidal Spirit benefits from impeccable construction, suited to intensive use. Whether you fish frequently at sea or alternate predator outings and coastal sessions, this boat predator rod is built to last and retain performance season after season.

Benefits and strengths

The main strength of this rod lies in its ability to cover a very broad program without compromise. With a single rod for soft lures and jigs, you can fish for bass, pollock, cod or other predators depending on the day's conditions, alternating weights and animations.

Its power reserve secures hooksets and fights: even on large fish taken from depth, the rod keeps enough backbone to effectively control the fish while maintaining a pleasant bend that limits unhooks. This controlled power combines with excellent line readability, essential to optimize lure presentation in the targeted water layer.

When drifting, the 7' length helps keep the line under control, quickly correcting braid angle and following the lure's action. When casting and retrieving, it provides enough leverage to perform precise animations, even at distance, whether with a weighted shad, a slug or a casting jig retrieved in a stair-step motion.

The Japanese manufacture of the FIVE EVO SP 7.0 H Tidal Spirit is a guarantee of reliability. The blank is engineered to withstand the demands of many seasons of use, whether for regular sea fishing or trips to more exposed destinations. For the passionate angler, it means heading out with a high-end saltwater rod you can count on.

Usage tips

To get the most from this saltwater jigging and predator rod, pair it with a sturdy reel of the appropriate size and braid with a diameter consistent with your lure weights and target species. Then adjust your leader according to water clarity and bottom composition.

When casting and retrieving, exploit the blank's sensitivity to vary animations: long pulls, small tip twitches, controlled pauses above structures. In vertical fishing, maintain constant contact with the bottom by controlling the line; the rod's power reserve will help you free the lure quickly and set the hook with authority at depth.

In rough seas, use the 7' length to absorb boat motion and keep the line tight. The rod will help you stay in contact with your rig despite swell, which is crucial to detect very subtle bites.

Rinse the rod with fresh water after every trip, especially after saltwater use, and let it dry before storing it in a suitable sleeve. Simple, regular maintenance will extend the life of your gear and preserve the blank's responsiveness.
