The Smith Offshore Stick GTK is a specialized offshore rod designed for surface jerking with pencil minnow plugs, targeting large pelagics like 40 kg class yellowfin tuna. Its deliberate tip suppression allows long casts with lightweight 60 g lures, while the reinforced belly and butt sections deliver the power needed to stop hard-running fish. The rod is built for anglers who find typical GT or black tuna rods too heavy.
