When it comes to fun, nothing beats the challenge of light rock fishing (LRF). If you are the type of fisherman who doesn't mind the size of the catch, you will surely enjoy catching large, almost exotic fish that populate all European coasts. With a Bassterra XT LRF in hand you can work small bait really effectively off rocks or near structures in small harbors or jetties, safe in the knowledge that when a fish grabs the bait immediately the super sensitive solid point fitted to both models will allow you to feel every slightest touch.

The Bassterra XT Sea Bass has been specially developed for bass fishing and offers an excellent combination of quality and affordability. The medium-fast action is powerful, responsive and generates excellent casting performance, while being versatile enough to fish effectively with both soft plastics and hardbaits. If you thought a high-quality, purpose-designed bass rod was out of your budget, you will almost certainly have to reconsider your preconceived ideas when you see how good, and affordable, the Bassterra XT Sea Bass is. Built on high quality blanks, with the unmistakable Diaflash finish, these rods open up specialist bass fishing to the masses, although we advise you not to limit the use of these rods to just one species. They are also excellent saltwater spinning rods for multiple predators that inhabit waters across Europe. The distinctive weave seen on the Bassterra XT Sea Bass is created by Shimano's exclusive Diaflash technology, which increases power and strength in specific areas of the full carbon blank. At the bottom of the rod it is used to generate the power needed to launch lures at feeding fish from a distance or to take total control when fighting fish near rocks and other structures. In the tip section it creates a greater response which in turn makes the control of the lure more effective and the fishing action more pleasant. Available in 5 models with medium, medium-heavy and heavy actions, to cover all sizes of popular bass baits, from the smallest 4g bass through to 65g crankbaits and metal jigs, the Bassterra XT is finished with Fuji Stainless Steel Fazlite guides, custom designed VSS plate and a split EVA grip.

The Cardiff AX is a rod for serious trout anglers. If you appreciate small intricacies that combine to produce more than the sum of their parts, Cardiff AX is for you. You will certainly appreciate the incredible ultra smooth parabolic action, with its almost elastic type forgiving qualities. And you will be amazed how such a sensitive and light rod can cast your lures with laser-like precision. But it's the feeling you get when a trout catches your bait that is the most defining, as Softube Top technology gives you an almost imperceptible, but very real extra time to set the hook before the pressure alerts even the most wary trout. . The ultralight Cardiff AX blanks are made from a blend of Spiral X and Hi-Power X carbon. These advanced carbon technologies combine to reduce rotational twist when the rod is flexed during casting or while playing fish, resulting in higher precision and a more faithful parabolic combat curve. The addition of Shimano's Softube Top increases sensitivity without adding extra weight, resulting in better balance and a greater overall feeling of lightness. As you'd expect from such a high quality rod, the fittings are top notch, featuring lightweight Fuji Titanium rings and K-type SiC stainless steel, an exclusive Shimano Ci4 + reel seat that complements the desire such as slenderness of the blanks and grips made of best quality cork.
