I paired this rod (Shimano TESIS70MHC) with a Daiwa Saltist Back Bay 4000 for some local SoCal calico and sand bass fishing. This set-up performed beyond my expectations and I can't wait to get out on the ocean again. The quality of this rod exceeds it's price point and I am extremely happy with my purchase.
7 foot heavy(1/2-1 3/4)

The rod is an unbelievably great value and %100 percent will cast its stated range. That being said it is tip heavy so id reccomend pairing it with a 4000 size shimano reel or 3000 size daiwa to balance it or in general a 10+ oz. reel. Powerful enough to easily subdue big blue fish, sensitive enough to feel tiny porgy nibbles.
Nice

Light weight rod with a stiff backbone. Nice rod for the price.
Shimano Talavera Inshore Spinning Rods Questions and Answers

is the 7,6 MH too light for snag and drop bunker and casting large soft plastics for stripers?
Bernie De Graaf

It really depends on the rod but a medium heavy or heavy would work. With this specific rod I would use a heavy.

Can I use the 7,6 MH for seabass jigging with 2-4 oz jigs? Also would YHE daiwa BG 3000 fit on this
Alyssa Madosky
4 years ago
The BG 3000 would pair nicely with this rod however 2-4 oz jigs would be too heavy for this rod. If you are using heavier jigs in deeper water. Check out the trevalas they have heavier blanks for heavier jigs.

Would the 8 XH pair well with Spheros 6000 and be stout enough to catch cobia and mahi? Or would the 7 H model be better suited?

<span>Hi Matt, Based on your fishing application I would recommend a Shimano TESIS80XHC Talavera Inshore Spinning Rod. However, since this is currently sold out I would also recommend a Shimano TMS-80H Teramar Inshore Southeast Spinning Rod. </span><a>htt

Which blank would be best between the 7'6" MH and 8'XH <p>for 1oz dropshot and up to 1oz jerkbaits <p>for halibut in the bays and surf? Also which rod would pair best </p><p>with the shimano sustain 5000 2017?</p></p>

Hello Ash, <p><br /></p><p>The answer to both of your questions would be the 7'6" MH model. Light enough to handle smaller baits while giving you all of the power you will need in case you (hopefully) hook into a bigger fish. It will also pair perfect wit

Is the TESIS70MB a good match for a Shimano BTR 6000 spinning reel? I fish for striped bass inshore and use lures and soft plastics up to 2 ounces.
Donald

The Shimano TESIS70MB Talavera Inshore Spinning Rod would be a even match when pairing it with the Shimano Baitrunner 6000. Using this combo for soft plastics and lures up to 2 oz would be ideal for this setup.
