The Shimano Bassterra XT Shore Jigging rod is engineered to deliver high-level shore jigging performance while maintaining outstanding value for money. Specifically designed for metal jigs fished from shore and rocky coastlines, its fast action also makes it highly effective for casting and working large crankbaits and surface lures.

Built to maximize casting distance, the Bassterra XT easily propels lures in the 20–80 g or 50–150 g range into the strike zone, performing equally well with large hardbaits and softbaits. The responsive tip brings lures to life with a natural, enticing action, while the powerful backbone makes it a great option for boat anglers targeting fast-moving pelagic species such as tuna.

The blank is constructed from high-modulus solid carbon, reinforced with Diaflash technology to improve torsional rigidity, power, and durability. The fast action produces exceptional tip speed for long, explosive casts, while the Diaflash-enhanced butt section provides excellent control over hard-fighting fish in demanding environments. Fuji K-Type Fazlite stainless steel guides ensure smooth line management and minimize casting issues at high speed. The setup is completed with a Shimano DPS reel seat and a modern EVA split-grip handle for comfort and precise control.
