Shimano Outlier OUC79MHP | Product Deep Dive

The Shimano Outlier 7'9" Medium Heavy Plus (OUC79MHP) rod is tailored for smaller to mid-sized glide baits like the Shimano Gravitator. Rated for 1 to 4-ounce lures, the rod features a moderate-fast action and a parabolic bend — ideal for treble-hook baits — to help anglers keep fish pinned during the fight.

The Outlier OUC79MHP features a longer handle for better leverage and enhanced casting distance, Hi-Power X and Spiral X construction for reduced blank twist, and increased strength without added weight. Additional highlights within the Outlier series of rods include double-foot Fuji K SiC guides, a CI4+ reel seat, and a custom EVA handle with shrink tube for comfort and grip.

To build out the full Outlier Tackle System, the Outlier OUC79MHP pairs well with both the Tranx 300 or Curado 200 DC reels. The Shimano Gravitator lure complements the rod, offering ARMABOOST, FLASH BOOST, SCALE BOOST, and a removable insert for adjustable action, enhancing versatility.
