SHIMANO BASSTERRA XT + A SEA BASS 80M

Designed for modern sea bass fishing, the Shimano Bassterra XT+A Sea Bass Spin combines low weight, sensitivity and power in a versatile rod engineered to deliver high performance with excellent value for money. Its medium-fast action provides an effective balance between responsiveness and progressive power, allowing long, accurate casts while maintaining precise control over a wide range of lures, from soft baits to hard baits.

The High Modulus Carbon blank, reinforced with Diaflash technology, delivers an excellent combination of lightness, stiffness and durability. The construction efficiently transfers power during the cast, while the lower section provides a strong power reserve for controlling hard-fighting fish, particularly when fishing close to rocks, structures and other potential obstacles.

The medium-fast action makes the Bassterra+A highly versatile when working lures. Its responsive tip allows anglers to impart precise movements to soft baits, while also providing the recovery speed and control required when fishing hard baits with different retrieve styles. The sensitive blank also helps maintain direct contact with the lure and provides accurate feedback throughout the retrieve.

The range includes models designed for applications from light to medium-heavy, covering a broad selection of techniques and lure weights. From small finesse lures to larger crankbaits and metal jigs, the Bassterra+A Sea Bass Spin provides the versatility required for a wide variety of coastal fishing situations.

Premium components complete the design. Fuji K-Type stainless-steel guides with Fazlite inserts provide smooth line flow and reliable management of both braided line and monofilament. The Fuji VSS reel seat ensures a secure and stable reel connection, while the split EVA handle provides an ergonomic and comfortable grip during extended fishing sessions.

Lightweight, well balanced and built for saltwater use, the Shimano Bassterra XT+A Sea Bass Spin is a versatile choice for sea bass fishing and a wide range of other European coastal species.
