Shimano Stradic Seabass Spinning Rod

Description

The Shimano Stradic Seabass is a premium rod range developed specifically for the dedicated saltwater predator angler. This 7'6" model is built for boat-based spinning, offering a balance of casting distance, lure control, and stopping power. Finished in Stradic White, it is designed to pair with the Stradic FM reel range. Built on a High Modulus Carbon blank, the rod is both light and strong. It features a Fast Action taper, providing the snap required to launch hardbaits and soft plastics toward surface-feeding fish with accuracy. Whether working surface sliders or weighted paddle tails, the responsive feedback from the blank lets you feel every vibration and subtle take. The 7'6" 5-25g is a versatile all-rounder for technical saltwater lure fishing: - Boat-Based Spinning: The 7'6" length is the sweet spot for boat fishing — long enough to achieve excellent casting distance to reach shoaling fish, but short enough to remain maneuverable in a crowded cockpit or on a small RIB. - Surface Lure Specialist: The fast action is suited to walking the dog with topwater lures, providing the crisp tip recovery needed to animate surface baits effectively. - Estuary and Inshore Work: Ideal for fishing around bridge pilings, oyster beds, and harbor defenses where a 5-25g lure weight covers the majority of effective Bass lures. - Soft Plastic Sensitivity: The high-modulus carbon transmits every bump of the seabed, making it a good choice for light-to-medium weighted soft plastics in tidal currents.
