Deps's Huge Custom Big Game "GT" is part of the brand's new offshore big game rod series! Developed by the Japanese manufacturer Deps, known for its relentless pursuit of big bass and monster predators, this series is not made for average anglers, but for those with the courage and obsession to face true sea monsters like GTs, Amberjacks and Tuna. Fish that push both gear and humans to their absolute limits. Each rod in the series is purpose-built to dominate a specific monster species, tailored with surgical precision to its size, strength, and environment.
This is no ordinary rod.
It's a big game weapon forged by those who live to hunt monsters.
A tool born from madness and a deep respect for the extreme.
The GT model is designed for the legendary Giant Trevally (GT), the ultimate icon of tropical Big Game fishing! A legendary, brutal, and powerful opponent, capable of breaking both gear and spirit. To take it on, Deps developed the HUGE Custom Big Game "GT", a rod series fine-tuned for power, casting performance and control. The blank is designed to handle long-distance casting with heavy lures, while the guide layout minimizes line friction, greatly improving casting distance and accuracy. Though not lightweight in absolute numbers, these rods offer superior balance, making them feel lighter in hand and significantly reducing fatigue, even during extended sessions and intense fights.
JOINT GRIP MECHANISM (PAT.P)
To make them travel-friendly, Deps engineered a patented detachable grip system, allowing the rod to be broken down even in the handle section, something rarely possible.
This unique joint offers:
- Zero looseness or play, even under heavy load;
- A smooth, natural bend curve, similar to a one-piece rod;
- Proven field durability, tested against giant GTs.
Note: The ELASTIC PARTS (like in the pictures) are not glued, take care during assembly/disassembly to avoid losing them.
GUIDE SETTING - Smooth, long and accurate casting
The guides are set up to minimize friction as the line exits the rod, offering a clean, low-resistance casting feel.
- Stainless steel frame + SiC rings, double-wrapped to protect the blank;
- Internal diameter approx. 10 mm, allowing Studio Ocean Mark #6 snaps to pass through, so leaders can be pre-rigged before your trip.
GT-784XH
A shorter version of the GT-824XH, this rod is ideal for smaller boats or anglers who prioritize maneuverability and precision. It excels with pencil and diving pencil lures, offering high sensitivity and total control, perfect for technical presentations from any angle.
GT-864XH
Long 8'6" version, compatible with PE 6-8 braided lines, designed to maximize casting distance thanks to its long and progressive blank. The increased leverage makes it easier to load pencil baits and diving pencils, reducing physical effort during long fishing sessions. Ideal for experienced anglers looking for control, distance and more effective hooksets when targeting GT.
MONSTER GT-784XXX
Model derived from the TUNA-733XXX Big Game, designed for monster GTs in extreme fields with powerful fish, strong currents and rocky areas. Compatible with PE 10-12 braided lines, it offers high pulling power and excellent control to immediately force the fish away from obstacles. The 4-piece construction, with a packed length of 665 mm, makes it ideal for travel and international expeditions without compromising power.
