Tica Boat Combo Magma 601, OX20 Engineered for serious boat and heavy‑braid anglers, the Magma 601, OX20 pairing fuses high‑end materials with practical design to deliver strong, confident performance when the waters run rough and big fish are in the drift. This is a purpose‑built boat rod and lever‑drag reel combo that stays secure, smooth, and responsive from the first cast to the final long fight. What makes this combo stand apart - Strong, one‑piece fast‑taper rod: At 1.8m (6’0"), the Magma blank is a full‑length, metallic thread bound construction. The high‑carbon binding adds structural integrity while the fast taper enhances sensitivity and punch, so you feel every bite and can drive authority into every hook set. - Power‑crystal braid compatibility: Designed and rated for 50 lb braid, the rod handles heavy line with confidence, while 12 titanium oxide guides and a protective tip keep abrasive braid away from the blank, reducing wear and maintaining casting efficiency. - Thoughtful grip and securing system: The EVA foregrip is contoured for long battles, and the rod sits in a solid, down‑locking, anodised reel seat with a gimbal knock under a protective cover—built to stay locked in on a rocking boat. - Striking cosmetics with real‑world durability: A blue metallic blank paired with gunsmoke reel seat and guides not only looks the part, it signals a rugged, salt‑friendly setup built for long seasons of fishing. OX20 lever‑drag reel: smooth power, repeatable control - Corrosion‑resistant, lightweight frame: The OX20 is built to endure saltwater use without weighing you down on long runs or all‑day sessions. - Dual carbon drag system: Two carbon drag plates on either side of the spool provide clean, strong stopping power with excellent heat dissipation during extended fights. - Precision bearings and reliability: Six sealed, rust‑resistant stainless steel RRB bearings deliver silky operation and durability in harsh conditions. - Loud line‑out alarm: An extra‑loud alarm helps you stay aware of strikes even when you’re focused on the fight. - Positive drivetrain: Rigid stainless steel drive gear, forged anodized spool, micro‑click pre‑set drag lever, and dual drag system ensure consistent drag performance and dependable response. - Practical gearing and capacity: Gear ratio 3.8:1, line retrieval 81 cm per handle turn, and a substantial PE braid capacity (PE#5 ~860 m) let you chase big fish without re‑spooling mid‑fight. Why anglers choose this setup - For boat anglers who demand reliability, the Magma 601, OX20 combo merges a responsive, high‑strength rod with a proven lever‑drag reel. The combination is ideal for scenarios where you need long, controlled drifts, steady fight control, and the confidence to push into bigger targets. - The system is well suited for dedicated saltwater sessions where braid durability, line capacity, and drag smoothness translate into more consistent bites and better landing rates. Use cases and practical tips - Heavy‑braid fishing in tidal runs: Pair this with PE braid in the PE#3–PE#5 range to balance casting distance with line capacity. The 860 m capacity on PE#5 gives you plenty of room for long drifts without re‑spooling. - Long, controlled fights: The 1.8 m rod length and fast taper let you feel subtle takes early while maintaining leverage against powerful fish. Use the micro‑click drag to dial in precise settings before the bite. - Saltwater durability where reels must last: Rinse after use, store in the padded full‑zip protective cover, and keep the gimbal/seat area serviced to preserve the down‑locking mechanism and corrosion resistance. Ideal for - Surf and inshore boat anglers who need a robust, ready‑to‑fish combo that handles heavy line, long fights, and salt exposure without compromise. - Anglers who value a refined blend of instinctive sensitivity, reinforced strength, and reliable drag performance in a single, integrated package.
