Rapture is always ready to follow new fishing trends, offering a series of heavy spinning rods devoted not only to tropical heavy popping, as it can be easily got by printing of the Giant Trevally on the blank, but suitable for Mediterranean boat fishing too, destined to schooling Bluefin Tuna. There are three 8’ rods in the range, starting from the “light” model, with medium-progressive action able to cast lures up to 110 grams, so ideal for pencil poppers and tapered stick baits. Then we have the intermediate model, 170 grams casting power more suitable for larger poppers and wtd stick baits, and finally most powerful one, the Extra Heavy action, for lures up to 220 grams, which is specifically designed for “Big Cup Head” poppers that require a rod that is not only able to cast them but also to retrieve them. In addition, we have two 9’ models with power 170 and 220 grams, designed to cast large poppers up and over the distance of 100 meters from your boat. And we all know how important it is to stay at a safe distance from feeding frenzy tunas! Powerful but relatively easy to cast with, all models are able to manage perfectly the lure during retrieve, even at long distance. The CX-Nano Carbon blank is able to react promptly to the large predator bites, even with a reel drag set to 10 kilos. The structure is 1+1, with Duplon and EVA handle for better grip, Fuji Reel seat and Fuji Alconite guides, fixed by underwrapping. An aluminium gimbal has been added too, for extra tough fights, especially in tropical seas.
