You don't need ten different rods.
The RJ Boyle Universal Big Game Rod Series is built to cover the full scope of big game species — from daytime swordfish and deep-drop bottom fish to tuna, wahoo, and marlin.
It's offered in four actions — Extra Light, Light, Medium, and Heavy — so you can match the rod to your current, your lead weight, and your target species.
