Usage tips

To get the most from your BFT Instinct lure rod, pair it with a reel suited to the technique and a quality braided line, complemented by an abrasion-resistant leader. Match your lure weight to the power range printed on the rod and favor smooth, controlled actions rather than abrupt gestures. Take the time to set your drag correctly to absorb predator runs without risking breakage. After each outing rinse the rod with fresh water, dry it carefully and regularly check the condition of the guides and wraps.

• Respect the rod's recommended power range to preserve the blank.
• Use a thin but strong braid to fully benefit from sensitivity.
• Frequently check the leader and replace it if worn.
• Store the rod in a protective sleeve during transport.
• Avoid severe impacts to the blank and guides to extend equipment life.
