Tackle Direct Platinum Hook Kingfish Rod The Tackle Direct Platinum Hook Kingfish Rod is a well-rounded option for targeting a species that is a beloved by many in Florida, the Carolinas, and the Gulf. The rod series at its core utilizes a E-Glass blank, with the strength and power at the butt section to tame powerful runs and a lighter tip to prevent lighter wire hooks from being torn out or bent.
