Tronixpro Competition Rock 247 – 14′ 4-8oz

Tronixpro Competition Rock 247 – 14′ (4–8oz): The Heavyweight Athlete

Dominate the most unforgiving marks with the Tronixpro Competition Rock 247, available at Gerry’s Fishing. Engineered for the specialist angler who targets apex predators from cliffs, piers, and jagged rock ledges, this rod is a “powerhouse” that refuses to be cumbersome. By utilizing a super-slim 24mm butt section, Tronixpro has created a heavy-ground tool that remains nimble and responsive, allowing you to focus on the fight rather than the weight of your gear.

The Rock 247 is built from a sophisticated blend of 40T and 30T carbon, reinforced with an inner 3k carbon cloth weave. This construction delivers a fast, crisp recovery that is essential for punching large baits and 8oz leads into the distance. Whether you are battling the massive tides of the Bristol Channel or the kelp-strewn gullies of the Northeast, this rod provides the raw “grunt” in the mid-section to steer trophy Cod, Conger, Tope, and Smoothhound away from snags and toward the net.

Technical Specifications

Why the Rock 247 is the Ultimate Rough Ground Tool

• Stiff Tip with Tactical “Give”: The tip section is designed to stand up to howling winds and heavy tide without “bowing” out. However, Tronixpro has engineered just enough flexibility into the tip to absorb wave energy, ensuring your grip lead stays pinned to the seabed even in a surging swell.

• Fuji Precision: Outfitted with Fuji Anti-Tangle Alconite K Guides, this rod is built for high-performance casting with heavy shock leaders. The adjustable Fuji reel seat allows you to customize the reel position to suit your height and casting style—essential when leaning into a 175g+ cast.

• Built for the Struggle: The Japanese shrink tube on the butt section provides a non-slip grip when handling a large fish, while the shrink tube at the spigots makes it easy to take the rod apart, even with cold, wet, or bait-covered hands.

• Slimline Power: Most “heavy” rods are thick and catch the wind. The 24mm slim profile of the Rock 247 cuts through the air during the cast and sits much more stable in the rod rest during a gale.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

The “Cliff-Hanger” Pull: When you are fishing from high rock marks or cliffs, you often need to “bully” a fish to the surface to clear the ledges. The Rock 247’s mid-section power is your best friend here. Don’t be afraid to load the rod; the 40T/30T carbon blend is designed to take immense pressure. Keep your drag tight and use the rod’s fast recovery to pump the fish up before it can find a hole!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this rod too stiff for smaller fish?

The Rock 247 is a “purpose-built” tool. While it will register a bite from a small pout, its true heart lies in targeting specimen fish. If you are fishing clean sand for flatfish, look at the Guerilla series; if you are targeting 10lb+ Cod or Ray in the rocks, this is the rod you want.

Does it come with a reducer?

No, a reducer is available separately. However, the adjustable Fuji reel seat gives you massive flexibility to fish “reel up” or “reel down” depending on your preference.

Can I use a Fixed Spool or a Multiplier?

The Rock 247 is designed as a versatile “hybrid” blank. The Fuji K guides work exceptionally well with both large Fixed Spool reels (8000–14000) and high-performance Multipliers like the Tronixpro Guerilla Mono Mag
