SHIMANO BASSTERRA XT + A LRF AJI

Designed for AJI fishing and anglers looking for maximum control in Light Rock Fishing techniques, the Shimano Bassterra XT+ A LRF AJI combines low weight, sensitivity and responsiveness in a rod engineered for modern finesse saltwater fishing.

Its High Modulus Full Carbon fast-action blank delivers a quick and precise response, while Diaflash technology increases structural strength and helps reduce blank twisting. The result is an extremely responsive rod that provides improved casting accuracy and precise control when working lightweight lures.

The ultra-sensitive tip is designed to transmit even the most subtle bites, making the Bassterra XT+ A LRF AJI particularly effective for targeting species such as horse mackerel and saddled seabream. Its highly responsive tip keeps you in constant contact with micro jig heads and soft lures, even when fishing them through the mid-water column.

The lightweight, perfectly balanced blank allows precise lure manipulation, while the Diaflash-reinforced lower section provides increased stability and additional power during the hook set and fight.

Designed for saltwater use, the Bassterra XT+ A LRF AJI features Fuji Fazlite stainless steel guides, providing smooth line flow and corrosion resistance when fishing with ultra-thin braided lines and monofilament. The Fuji TVS reel seat ensures a secure and ergonomic grip, while the split EVA handle provides excellent comfort and control during extended fishing sessions.

A refined, specialist AJI rod developed for anglers demanding extreme sensitivity, precision and complete control when fishing finesse presentations.
