Shimano Bassterra XT LRF The Shimano Bassterra XT LRF rods have been specifically developed for the increasingly popular Light Rock Fishing style. Offering outstanding value, the fast action Full Carbon blanks, are reinforced with Diaflash and have sensitive solid tips, to maximize even the smallest bites, when fishing with small spinners, or soft plastics. When it comes to fun, not much beats the challenge of Light Rock Fishing (LRF). If you are the kind of angler who isn’t dictated to, by the size of fish you catch, you’ll certainly get a big kick out of catching the small, almost exotic fish that live close to all European shores. With a Bassterra XT LRF in your hand you can work small lures really effectively from rocks, or close to structures like harbor walls, or marinas, safe in the knowledge that when a fish grabs your lure you’ll instantly see the bite on the super sensitive solid tip fitted to both models. The Full Carbon blanks of the Bassterra XT LRC have a fast action and are enhanced with Diaflash construction to give the rods the correct action, responsiveness and casting performance required when fishing ultra lightweight lures. You can cast small spinners and other hardbaits deceptively well, or as an alternative fish with a soft lure close to shore, with supreme precision, thanks to the sensitive solid tips. Diaflash is a reinforced structure, that prevents twisting of the butt section, in situations where high-intensity is applied, for example during casting and fighting with fish. Due to the effect of Diaflash it becomes possible to convey the pulling power of the angler to the target fish, while minimizing the loss of energy by flexing of the butt section. Fitted with corrosion resistant Fuji Stainless Steel Fazlite guides, which work perfectly well with fine braid, or mono reel lines, all models are fitted with a VSS reel seat and a split grip EVA handle.
