![]() How do you reckon this rod would go as a game rod BFB. No troublesome guides to deal with. ![]() On this occasion it was being used as a deep drop rod.

![]() They never took off for game fishing… may work … I used an okuma tournament spiral jig rod with trini 12 for catching skippies in weekend. Those interline Diawa’s are designed I think for jigging, a mate used to strayline with them successfully for snapper with sl 20. Thing with a marlin is 600 meters or so is probably going to leave reel real quick so could generate friction on tip, point of entry to blank, or in between. Also needs to be stiff enough to set game hook in lure, and absorb strike.. those interlines are also graphite from memory. Going bang on a marlin might be regretted.

![]() Yeah those Daiwa Interline rods were a flash in the pan sometime ago.... That photo is also a good example of some of the rods at the time, that I spoke of earlier, where the butt and mid section don't do much and the tip folds away quite suddenly ... |
![]() May well work ok FA but thinking about it my main concern would be line being stripped off going into a central hole (point of entry) across reel spool unloading line at both edges given how height point of entry sits in relation to most first guides or stripper roller on conventional rods. Then also spreading line back when retieving and not bunching it in middle of spool You would ideally want a large cavity deep narrow spool game reel … maybe talica 50 (not that I’m a fan of those), or if smaller one of the deep spool narrow jig reels from avet. Not saying wouldn’t work, as with most fishing tackle problems there is a solution.
