PURPOSE-BUILT FOR DRONE FISHING. ENGINEERED FOR BIG BAITS. READY FOR BIG FISH.

Serious power, premium Japanese carbon construction and exceptional line control for demanding beach and surf fishing. When you’re sending big baits beyond the breakers in search of powerful fish, ordinary surf fishing equipment simply won’t cut it.

The Ocean’s Legacy Backline Big Bait Special Drone Spec has been developed specifically for modern land-based anglers who demand serious fish-fighting strength, premium components and reliable performance in challenging surf conditions. Featuring a specially blended Japanese Toray graphite blank reinforced with Ocean’s Legacy Cross Core Carbon technology, this 13’2” powerhouse delivers a combination of strength, responsiveness and progressive loading characteristics. With a heavy-duty 40–80lb line rating, overhead reel configuration and premium Fuji components, the Backline Drone Spec is designed for anglers targeting large pelagic species, sharks and other powerful saltwater game fish from the beach.

Built to reach beyond the breakers. Designed to handle what comes back.

Purpose-Built for Modern Drone Fishing

Drone fishing has completely transformed the possibilities of land-based fishing. Rather than relying solely on casting distance, anglers can now deliver large baits hundreds of metres offshore, reaching deeper water, offshore gutters and productive feeding zones previously beyond conventional casting range. The Ocean’s Legacy Backline Big Bait Special Drone Spec is specifically designed to complement this style of fishing.

Unlike the conventional spinning and low-mount surfcasting versions, this model features an overhead configuration suitable for large conventional overhead reels and compatible electric fishing reels. This makes it particularly appealing to serious drone fishing enthusiasts seeking a powerful, specialised beach fishing setup.

The 13’2” Advantage – Superior Line Management

At 13’2” (approximately 4.01 metres), the Backline provides the extended reach that many anglers prefer when fishing from the beach. The additional length helps anglers lift and manage their fishing line around breaking waves, shallow sandbanks and turbulent water. This becomes especially important when fighting powerful fish at long distances, where wave action and changing line angles can make maintaining control challenging.

The rod’s substantial length also provides practical advantages when fishing from elevated beach positions, working around the shore break or managing line over nearshore obstacles.

Advanced Japanese Toray Graphite Construction

Powerful, Responsive and Engineered for Performance

At the heart of the Backline Big Bait Special is a specially blended Japanese Toray graphite blank incorporating Ocean’s Legacy Cross Core Carbon technology. This advanced construction is designed to deliver the strength and responsiveness required for demanding land-based game fishing applications. The graphite construction provides an excellent balance of power and weight, while the reinforced carbon structure contributes to the blank’s overall strength and controlled loading characteristics.

Progressive Power Where It Matters

The Backline series features a responsive tip section combined with increasing power through the middle and lower portions of the blank. This progressive design helps the rod load smoothly under pressure while providing the backbone required to fight powerful fish.

Key advantages include:

* Strong lower blank: Provides substantial resistance and lifting capability when fighting large fish.
* Responsive tip: Helps detect activity and manage changing loads.
* Progressive loading: Supports smooth power transfer throughout the blank.
* Cross Core Carbon technology: Reinforces the rod’s construction for demanding fishing applications.
* Japanese Toray graphite: Offers a strong and responsive foundation for heavy-duty land-based fishing.

Whether a fish is making an explosive offshore run or holding deep beyond the breakers, the Backline is designed to provide the strength and responsiveness required to stay in control.

Designed for Large Overhead and Electric Reels

One of the standout features of the Drone Spec model is its dedicated overhead reel configuration. The rod is designed to accommodate large overhead fishing reels and suitable electric reels, making it a practical option for anglers using drone-deployed baits.

Why This Matters

When drone fishing, it’s not uncommon to have substantial amounts of line deployed offshore. Reel compatibility, secure mounting and reliable line management are therefore essential. The Backline Drone Spec incorporates a quality Fuji reel seat and an overhead-oriented guide configuration designed to complement demanding heavy-tackle fishing applications. Whether you’re using a conventional large-capacity overhead reel or a compatible electric setup, this rod offers a purpose-designed platform for serious surf fishing.

Premium Fuji Components

A quality Fuji DPS-H reel seat provides a robust mounting system for suitable heavy-duty overhead and electric reels. This is particularly important when targeting powerful fish and applying sustained pressure throughout extended battles

Fitted with Fuji LC and KW guide components, the Backline Drone Spec features a heavy-duty guide arrangement designed for demanding saltwater fishing. These quality guides provide controlled line travel and are well suited to the requirements of an overhead fishing setup.

Comfortable EVA Grips

The rod features substantial EVA grips designed to provide comfortable hand placement and reliable handling. The practical grip arrangement assists with control when managing a heavily loaded rod during prolonged fights.

The Backline Big Bait Special features a striking black carbon-style finish with bold silver graphics and quality guide bindings.

It’s a purposeful, modern design that reflects the heavy-duty nature of the rod.

Built for Powerful Saltwater Species

The Backline Drone Spec is ideally suited to anglers targeting large, hard-fighting fish from beaches and other suitable land-based locations.

Potential target species include:

* Spanish Mackerel: Fast, powerful pelagic fish capable of blistering runs.
* Longtail Tuna: Strong, sustained fighters that demand quality tackle.
* Cobia: Powerful fish that can test even heavy-duty equipment.
* Giant Trevally: Aggressive predators renowned for their brutal fighting ability.
* Mulloway / Jewfish: Large fish commonly targeted around beach gutters and deeper water.
* Sharks: Where appropriately rated heavy tackle and local fishing regulations permit.
* Large Snapper and Reef Species: Targeted from suitable land-based locations beyond the breakers.

Whether you’re deploying large baits into offshore gutters or targeting powerful predators beyond the surf, the Backline offers a dedicated heavy-tackle fishing platform.
