The video above shows the GT79R in custom metallic gold finish The angler is 6'4" and is fishing 15kg of drag with PE10 Varivas, so don't think this rod is too light for serious fish! You can see how the rod maintains a curve nearly all the way to the foregrip while under pressure, this means less pressure on the angler, and an easier fight. The GT landed here is around 34kg, and the rod handles this with ease.
