BFT Lizzard Casting Rod Pierre Monjarret Edition - 200 g

Product highlights

Born from the collaboration between renowned specialists Pierre Monjarret and Stefan Trumstedt, the BFT Lizzard rod was designed to meet the demands of modern predator fishing. Built to reduce the number of rods needed on board, it stands out for its exceptional versatility and intuitive handling—ideal for anglers who want to focus on scouting and precision rather than constantly swapping gear.

Thanks to its carefully designed action, the BFT Lizzard predator rod enables effective presentation of a wide range of lures while offering a sufficient power reserve to control large fish. Its well-balanced design reduces fatigue when casting and animating, making it a preferred tool for long days of intensive fishing, whether in competition or leisure.

The rod also benefits from a high-end construction with components chosen for their reliability and lightness. It suits both experienced anglers and enthusiasts looking to upgrade to a refined tool, tested in real conditions on trophy pike and other large predators.

Advantages and strengths

The primary advantage of the BFT Lizzard predator rod lies in its extraordinary adaptability. A single model can cover most situations encountered when fishing with lures, whether animating soft plastics near the bottom, working jerkbaits over weedbeds, or casting denser lures to target active fish. This wide usage range reduces the required gear, freeing space on the boat and simplifying trip organization.

Its progressive action makes it particularly pleasant to use: the rod loads easily on the cast, gaining distance and accuracy, then accompanies predators' runs during the fight. It thus reduces lost hookups while retaining enough power to extract a large pike from cover or secure a fish taken on the edge.

Another strong point is the presence of quality components such as SiC guides and the American Tackle reel seat, which add real value in terms of durability and comfort. Bite transmission is clear, even when fish are wary or give light taps on the lure. Anglers who prioritize sensitivity will appreciate the rod's ability to convey bottom changes and subtle contacts with the lure.

Usage tips

To get the most out of this versatile predator rod, pair it with a quality reel featuring a progressive drag and a braid suited to the target predators. A fluorocarbon leader or reinforced leader will ideally complete the setup, especially for pike fishing.

The BFT Lizzard performs particularly well with soft plastics mounted on weighted heads, shads worked with pulls or straight retrieves, as well as with jerkbaits and other hard lures designed to trigger reflex strikes. Vary retrieval speeds, add pauses and exploit depth changes to locate active fish. Thanks to its good progression, the rod allows effective hooksets while keeping a safety margin during the fight.

From a boat, take advantage of its casting capability to quickly cover large areas and focus on marked spots (drops, flats, weed edges, structures). From shore, it helps you reach more distant zones while maintaining control of your presentations. Remember to set your reel drag before each session to fully benefit from the rod's power reserve without risking breakage.
