Spinning Rod SMITH OFFSHORE STICK LIM PACK OLPS 86 SH

Product highlights

The SMITH Offshore Lim Pack rod is a high-end travel rod designed for demanding anglers targeting large marine predators on exotic trips. Thanks to its powerful, progressive action, it easily casts bulky topwater lures while maintaining precise control during the fight. Its responsive blank faithfully transmits lure motions and provides significant power reserves to quickly subdue a fish and steer it away from coral heads or submerged structure.

Designed to accompany globe-trotting sport fishermen, this travel rod for exotic fishing is both compact for transport and highly effective on the water. It suits experienced anglers as well as enthusiasts who want to start tropical popper and stickbait fishing without compromising on reliability.

Technical specifications

The SMITH Offshore Lim Pack is specially developed for animating stickbaits, poppers and other topwater lures aimed at jacks, tunas and other tropical predators. Its fast to semi-parabolic action allows you to whip relatively heavy lures, animate them precisely, and absorb the most violent runs without losing fish.

• Powerful blank engineered for exotic sea fishing and controlling large gamefish.
• Reactive action promoting long casts and energetic topwater lure presentation.
• Multi-piece construction for reduced packed length, ideal for air or car travel.
• Ergonomic handle offering comfortable grip during long cast-and-retrieve sessions.
• Reinforced guides designed for modern braided lines and resistant to marine corrosion.
• Robust reel seat ensuring secure mounting of powerful reels intended for tropical fishing.
• Refined finish and quality components built for intensive use in saline environments.

Benefits and key features

The main asset of this versatile exotic fishing rod lies in the balance between power and comfort. It has enough backbone to control powerful fish while remaining relatively non-fatiguing to handle, even during full days of casting. The angler can therefore repeat popper and stickbait presentations without experiencing excessive fatigue.

Another major advantage is its multi-piece design, which allows the rod to fit easily into luggage or a compact travel tube. This makes it an ideal travel rod for tropical fishing for distant destinations, fishing cruises or guided trips. Its versatility lets it adapt to many scenarios: boat drifts over reefs, surf and shoreline fishing, offshore topwater bust-ups or scouting rocky heads.

Usage tips

To get the best from the SMITH Offshore Lim Pack, use a quality braided line suited to tropical fishing and a heavy-diameter fluorocarbon or nylon leader. Gradually set your reel drag to make the most of the blank’s power while keeping a safety margin on the line.

When animating lures, alternate long steady pulls for stickbaits with sharper, more rhythmic rod-tip strikes for poppers. Always keep the rod slightly angled toward the lure to absorb sudden hits and reduce hookups coming off. After each outing, rinse the rod thoroughly with fresh water, paying special attention to the guides, reel seat and ferrules, then let it dry before storing it in its case or travel tube.
