Spinning Rod SMITH BAY LINER S732MH/RF

Key features

The SMITH Bay Liner spinning rod is specifically developed for boat anglers seeking a versatile tool for both salt and freshwater. Its design emphasizes sensitivity, controlled power and casting distance, enabling precise control of soft lures and immediate detection of bites, even the subtlest ones.

Thanks to a modern, resonant blank, the boat rod for soft lures transmits bottom structure and lure behavior directly to the angler's hand. This responsiveness allows instant adjustment of the retrieve, effective hooksets and total control during the fight.

• Designed for fine, technical fishing with soft lures.
• Well-balanced to reduce fatigue during long drift sessions or when fishing from the boat.
• Components resistant to intensive use in both salt and freshwater.
• Capable of casting a wide range of lure weights accurately, depending on the model variant.

Benefits and key strengths

In real-world use, the SMITH Bay Liner rod shows its full potential. When it's necessary to quickly prospect an area, its ability to cast far and accurately lets you cover more water and concentrate on productive spots. While drifting or stationary, its sensitivity reveals the slightest bottom irregularities and the timid bites of wary fish.

The power reserve in the lower section of the rod gives confidence when a strong fish takes the lure. It lets you keep control, lift the fish off the bottom and guide it gently to the net, while preserving the integrity of the light rigs commonly used with soft lures.

• Excellent balance between fishing comfort and performance.
• Saltwater/freshwater versatility to get the most out of every outing, from sea bass to zander and other predators.
• Responsive behavior, ideal for twitching, scraping, slow retrieves or vertical presentations.
• Refined finish and reliable components to accompany the angler season after season.

Usage tips

To get the most from this boat rod for soft lures, pair it with a suitably sized spinning reel and a fine quality braided line. This setup will fully reveal the blank's sensitivity and allow precise control of drifts.

In saltwater, the rod excels at vertical fishing or cast-and-retrieve over feeding fish and flats. In freshwater, it is perfect for targeting predators along breaks, headlands or inland wrecks. Vary your retrieves (scraping the bottom, sharp hops, slow straight retrieves) to quickly find what provokes the most bites.

After each outing, rinse the rod thoroughly with fresh water, paying attention to the guides and ferrules, to maintain smooth line glide and prolong the life of the outfit. Regularly check the condition of the braid and the guides to avoid unexpected breakage.
