Shimano Bassterra Xt Sea Bass

The Bassterra XT Sea Bass has been specially developed for bass fishing, offering an excellent combination of quality and value. The moderate fast action is powerful, responsive, and generates excellent casting performance, while being versatile enough to fish effectively with both soft and hard lures. If you thought high-quality Sea Basstera rods were out of your budget, you'll need to reconsider when you see just how effective and affordable the Bassterra XT Sea Bass is. Built on high-quality blanks with the distinctive Diaflash finish, these rods open up specialist bass fishing to mainstream audiences, although we suggest you don't limit their use to a single species. They also make excellent lure rods for other saltwater species in shallow coastal waters found throughout Europe.

The distinctive weave seen on the Bassterra XT Sea Bass is created by Shimano's exclusive Diaflash technology, which increases power and resistance in specific areas of the full carbon blank. In the lower section of the rod, it generates the power needed to cast lures to fish feeding at a distance or to take total control when fighting fish close to rocks and other structures. In the tip section, the blank is highly responsive, making lure control more effective and fishing more enjoyable.

Available in five models covering light, medium, and medium-heavy actions, the rods accommodate all sizes of popular bass lures from 4 g to 65 g, including lures and metal jigs. The Bassterra XT is finished with high-quality Fazlite stainless steel Fuji rings, a VSS reel seat, and a slotted EVA handle.
