Tronixpro Xenon Surf CT Rod

Description

The Tronixpro Xenon Surf CT is a competition-level beachcaster built for anglers who need to detect the smallest bites at range. It pairs a slim, lightweight blank with a fast, razor-sharp response, making it a precise tool for technical shore fishing. At 13ft 8in, this version recovers faster and feels more compact than longer alternatives, suiting high-velocity casting styles. Its standout feature is the spliced carbon competition tip, which acts as a sensitive antenna for bite detection while staying forgiving enough to keep delicate baits such as maddies or soft peelers intact during the cast. The rod is finished in white with Fuji fittings. - Brand: Tronixpro - Model: Xenon Surf CT (Competition Tip) - Length: 13ft 8in (4.16m) - Casting Weight: 3.5oz – 7oz (100g – 200g) - Tip Type: Spliced Carbon (Ultra-Sensitive) - Blank: Ultra-Slim Diameter / High Modulus Carbon - Guides and Reel Seat: Genuine Fuji Components - Included: Padded Rod Bag and EVA Grip The Xenon Surf CT is designed for technical shore fishing. In competition and match fishing, its lightweight build lets you cast, retrieve and hold the rod for a full match without fatigue, and the 13ft 8in length is easy to get around for maximum tip speed. For finesse beach fishing it suits targeting plaice, flounder, whiting and bass on clean ground, where the spliced tip shows bites that standard tubular tips miss. When using soft, un-elasticated baits, the progressive action of the blank cushions the launch so the bait arrives at the mark in good condition. Although it is a finesse rod, the butt and mid-sections retain reserve power to steer fish through light weed or over mixed ground gullies. A 150g (approximately 5oz) lead is recommended to find the rod's sweet spot, where it loads efficiently for both overhead and off-the-ground (OTG) casting styles. The white finish also helps during night sessions, as the tip is easy to track against a dark sky under a headlamp, so subtle pull-downs and slack-line bites are easier to spot. A spliced tip uses a solid carbon section joined into the hollow blank, allowing the tip to be very thin and sensitive for bite detection without compromising the casting power of the rest of the rod. The rod is rated up to 7oz and has the power to push beyond its finesse limits when the tide picks up, though it is at its most accurate and responsive with weights around the 150g (5oz) mark. It is also suitable for use with braid, as the Fuji guides suit modern thin-diameter braids, and the extra sensitivity of the spliced tip combined with the zero-stretch of braid makes for a setup that feels every movement on the seabed.
