Bassterra XT
Bassterra: the all round ever reliable bass rod that is specially designed for targeting bass species. Upon much research through repeated field-testing, it was found that the hookup rates for fishes such as the barramundi on lures while using braided lines were extremely poor. This is attributed to the fact that the barramundi feeds by suction and needs to inhale the lure properly to ensure of a proper hookset. Taking this study into consideration, we engineered the new Bassterra XT rods with a slightly lighter and softer tip action that allows the fish to inhale the lure properly. This light tip action also gives some flex allowance that is required when using braided lines. This keeps tension on the fish at all times, yet absorbs all the shock on a jumping fish; making thrown hooks and busted lines a thing of the past. The Bassterra XT comes with Fuji Silicon Carbide guides, Fuji VSS/ACS reelseats and a spiral guide concept system for the B60M baitcasting model. Try a Bassterra XT today and see how many more fish you can add to your stringer at the end of the day.
