Hi, I was looking into getting a good spinning rod for catching Bull Shark, Alligator Gar, and Tarpon. I want to use a Penn Battle III HS as my reel, I would like to keep the price within the 100-200 dollar range and optionally, I would like to have it be a 2 piece rod So that I can bring it with me easily. Any and all information is appreciated!

Thanks,
Mason

Take a look at Pinnacle Marine Outfitters. John builds a 400 gram spinning/jigging rod that will get it done. 6'-6". Not a 2 piece blank, but the butt does separate from the main blank. He does not have a website, but you can see his entire lineup on The Hull Truth forum. Just search Trollinggear.com, and it will take you to that link. After shipping they are right at $200. Been using his rods for years, and have not been able to break one yet! He also has lots of other offshore options. Good luck! 🍻
