Tsunami AirWave Fishing Rod Review
(7 votes, average: 4 out of 5)
Loading ...
We recently added the new AirWave rods to our inventory and we are GLAD we did, they have been VERY well received so far! We brought in the spinning rods, inshore rods, boat rods models and a variety of surf rods too.
Tsunami has created their very own high density blank that is light as a feather and surprisingly strong! They are fitted with Fuji’s Alconite guides, Fuji Seats, an aluminium gimbal, vinyl “diamond” grips on some models, grade A cork or Cork Tape on other models. These rods are VERY impressive for their prices… NO DOUBT! We’re building more and more custom rods with thes grips because they’re so durable and provide exceptional grip, even when wet and full of slop!
The boat rods resemble the newest style of “jiggin rods” that compare to the Shimano Trevala rods for example, with a somewhat slow but extremely strong action. What we love the weight of these rods… they weigh next to nothing and they’re strong like you can’t believe!
Like our review of the Tsunami AirWave Series, than hurry up and pick one of these up, we can hardly keep them on the sales floor!

These rods are junk,do not buy them,I have gone through 1 6′6 medium and 2 7 foot medium heavy’s,the tips break easy and two rods snapped completly in half for no apparent reason,they are garbage!

This Virginia fisherman loves his 8-17 lb spinning rod. It may become the only rod I need to use. Caught 16 stripers on a head boat Could have sold the rod for a bunch. Try one, they are strong and very sensitive also

Alex,
Very sorry to hear about the broken rods, we’re a little surprised though. We have sold a BOATLOAD of the Airwaves… all over the country… and have seen VERY few of them come back. In fact, I can’t remember the last time we did have a problem with one.
If we can make a suggestion though… contact the company because their customer service is usually exceptional and they will most likely make good on those rods!
Here is the contact info for them:

Good Luck!!

i love the rod i was skeptical at first cause of its lightness but it took a 62 inch 53 pound red fish without a hitch
May 11th, 2009 at 10:17 am
NICE! We’d love to see a picture of that fish!

I have used the 7′ Air Wave boat rod H line 30-50 (8oz) for tog and cod with great success. I bought it as a backup rod but has now replaced rods costing 3 times as much. I pair it with a Tekota 500 or a Saltiga 30.
I also used the Airwave inshore 7′ MH rod to catch a 40# striped bass. I was originally snagging bunker which was inhaled by a cow on the retrieve.
