Melton Tackle Composite Tuna Lifter High-Leverage Stand-Up Rods

Melton Tackle has designed the ultimate in a U.S. built composite graphite/glass short curved butt rod which we appropriately named TUNA-LIFTER. Their extremely powerful butt sections shut down Rock-Hard, producing unbelievable lifting power. They are hand built by our rod building specialists, in our own facility, using only the finest in wind-on guides from WT, Aftco black/gold bent butts, and triple wrapped in our signature black and gold with metallic blue trim. They are the ultimate tool, the culmination of our extensive knowledge of stand-up fishing and the stresses that it puts on the angler. If you want to subdue big tuna and marlin in short order, step up and strap in with a Melton Tuna-Lifter.

One of the unique features of this rod is it’s length…Usually with longer rods with a faster taper, they put too much pressure on the angler and start to become an advantage for the fish. Melton Tackle was able to modify the blank used in this rod to achieve a slower taper and a solid lock-up mid section creating a rod that not only is easy on the angler, it’s hell on the fish!
