Advantages and key features

Thanks to its action tailored for powerful fishing, the Dragonbait Seabass quickly frees fish from the bottom, controls violent runs and allows confident fishing in cluttered areas. Bite transmission is clear, even when fish delicately take a soft lure worked near the seabed.

Versatile in its power range, this sea lure rod accepts a wide range of setups: shads, finesse rigs, Texas rigs, weighted soft baits, metal jigs, etc. It allows you to vary animations and retrieval speeds to match fish behavior and current conditions, while reducing fatigue thanks to good overall balance.

Usage tips

To get the best from this sea rod for soft lures, pair it with a robust, appropriately sized reel and a quality braid complemented by an abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon leader. Vary jig head weights and jigs according to depth, current strength and drift, making sure to keep constant contact with your lure.

For sea bass, favor jerk-and-pause, twitch-and-pause and controlled drifts near the bottom or along rocky shelves. For pollack and other pelagic predators, alternate quick lifts and controlled drops in vertical fishing to provoke reflex strikes. After each outing, rinse the rod thoroughly with fresh water, wipe it with a clean cloth and let it dry before storing to sustainably preserve the performance of your SMITH Dragonbait Seabass rod.
