The Höwk Bullfighter is a flagship big-game popping rod designed for anglers targeting tuna and other powerful pelagic species with lures. Combining a medium action with substantial reserves of power, it is built to provide the casting performance and lure control required for modern offshore fishing, together with the strength needed when a big fish takes.
Available in a wide range of strengths, the Bullfighter can be matched to different lure sizes, line classes and target species. The range starts with the Bullfighter 150, an 8ft 3in PE6 rod rated for 80–150g lures, and progresses through increasingly powerful 170, 200, 250 and 300lb class models. At the top of the range, the Bullfighter 300 is rated PE12 with an 80-220g lure range and maximum drag rating of 20kg at 45 degrees.
Despite their considerable power, the rods are designed to retain the control needed for working large surface lures effectively. The different lengths and ratings also allow anglers to select a Bullfighter suited to their preferred balance of casting ability, lure size and fighting power.
For travelling anglers, the Bullfighter 160 Travel provides the same big-game focus in a convenient three-piece construction. At 8ft 3in, it is rated PE5-7 for lures from 80-170g, making it an attractive option for overseas tuna and tropical fishing trips where luggage space is important.
Whether casting large poppers for bluefin tuna or travelling in search of powerful tropical pelagics, the Höwk Bullfighter range is designed for situations where dependable power and control are essential.
