Swimbait Style 76 XH

I've used it with big swimbaits, heavy paddle tails and larger topwaters.

It has the power needed to control those lures but doesn't make casting feel like work. Once a fish hits, the reinforced middle section gives you a lot of authority.

It's become my dedicated big-bait rod.

Powerful blank, nice Fuji setup and good cork handle. Arrived perfectly packed.

I'd been throwing a big swimbait for hours without a touch and was almost ready to stop.

Then one fish absolutely smashed it close to the boat. The rod loaded instantly and everything just felt right.

Sometimes one strike is enough to make a session.

I didn't want a big swimbait rod that felt completely rigid.

This one has the power lower down but enough flex to cast and work larger baits naturally. Much nicer to fish than some other heavy rods I've owned.

Loads nicely and gives enough feedback even with heavier lures. Good balance for such a powerful setup.

Very solid XH rod with good lure control. The cork grip is comfortable too.

Finally a rod that feels right with the bigger baits I like throwing. Strong without feeling dead.
