Daiwa 26 Outrage MLT (Monster Loves Tentacle) is an advanced offshore vertical fishing rod series purpose-built for live-bait and heavy soft-lure tactics (Fireball, Zoka, Vertical Ball, Paluccella, and deep rubber). Designed to bridge the gap between two distinct rod concepts, it fuses the featherlight handling, tip sensitivity, and responsiveness of Slow Jigging blanks with the brutal backbone and structural endurance of Big Game boat rods needed to stop hard-fighting bottom predators (like Grouper, Snapper, and Amberjack) from wrapping into structure.

Measuring 1.98 meters, the blank is constructed from low-resin HVF (High Volume Fiber) Carbon, reinforced with Daiwa's X45 bias technology to eliminate blank twist and Braiding X cross-weaving along the butt section for maximum lifting torque. The highly progressive action features an ultra-sensitive tip that registers the slightest bait nervousness or subtle nibbles, rapidly transitioning into a powerful lower blank that exerts massive pressure on big fish. The lineup includes three Baitcasting power classes (No.4 up to 200g, No.5 up to 300g, No.6 up to 400g)—engineered to pair seamlessly with compact to heavy-duty Daiwa Dendoh electric reels—as well as a dedicated Spinning version (up to 250g). Each model is custom-fitted with a power-matched reel seat: AIRSENSOR on No.4, heavy-duty Fuji on No.5, and Fuji Palming Support on No.6. Fitted with Fuji K-Series Alconite guides, a Fuji SiC tip top, and high-density non-slip EVA grips, the Outrage MLT delivers total offshore control.

Shimano Bassterra XT+ A Shore Jigging – Power, Distance and Lure Control

The Shimano Bassterra XT+ A Shore Jigging is a spinning rod developed for shore jigging and demanding situations where casting distance, lure control and power reserves are essential. Designed for fishing from beaches, rocky shorelines, piers and coastal structures, it delivers reliable performance with metal jigs as well as larger minnows and topwater lures.

Its High Modulus Full Carbon blank, reinforced with Diaflash technology, provides an effective combination of structural strength, responsiveness and resistance to twisting. This construction allows the rod to transfer casting energy efficiently, helping anglers achieve long, accurate casts and reach distant strike zones that can be difficult to access with less powerful equipment.

The moderate-fast action is one of the key features of the Bassterra XT+ A Shore Jigging. Its responsive tip generates high recovery speed, making it easier to cast metal jigs and larger hard lures while providing a fast and precise response during lure manipulation. The rod is particularly effective when working artificial lures with dynamic horizontal retrieves designed to trigger aggressive predators.

The lower section of the blank provides substantial power reserves, allowing anglers to maintain pressure on strong and fast fish throughout the fight. This makes the rod especially suitable for demanding environments such as rocky coastlines, reefs and areas with underwater structure, where maintaining control of the fish is essential.

The Bassterra XT+ A Shore Jigging is also highly effective from the boat, where its long-distance casting capability and ability to handle larger lures make it a versatile option for targeting fast pelagic species such as bonito.

The component package includes Fuji K-Type Alconite stainless-steel guides, providing smooth line flow and helping to minimise tangles during powerful casts or slack-line retrieves. The Fuji VSS reel seat securely locks the reel in place, while the split EVA handle offers a comfortable and secure grip during extended fishing sessions.

The result is a highly versatile rod engineered for anglers looking for a combination of long-distance casting, lure sensitivity, precise control and strong fighting power.
