The SOUL 160 is positioned as the "mainstay model" of the Soul series. Its overwhelming versatility is the best in the series: a do-it-all model that covers a wide range of targets, from kingfish, grouper, yellowtail amberjack and the large grouper species of southern waters in vertical fishing, to yellowfin tuna in horizontal drift fishing, and on to marlin taken by trolling.

In a stand-up fight with a huge fish, its weapon is the supple action, unmistakably that of a SOUL 160, that bends smoothly from close to the hands. It is designed to reduce the physical load on the angler while still putting firm pressure on the fish.
It is a rod that sets a new standard for stand-up live bait rods, and stands clearly apart from the "stiff rod that will not bend and is only hard work."

From beginners to seasoned anglers, and from those who are not suited to a contest of pure strength to those who want to enjoy a head-on fight, it is a genuine performer that a wide range of users can be satisfied with. It is the centerpiece of the series, delivering its best performance in big game.
