Advantages and key strengths

The Dragonbait SeaBass LX was developed to provide anglers with a modern response to current techniques. Its sensitivity allows clear detection of lure action and the most subtle bites, especially during slow presentations with soft plastics near the bottom. During faster retrieves with hard baits, the rod transmits vibrations perfectly and ensures an effective hookset, even at long distance. In jig casting on feeding schools it has enough reserve power to cast the lure into the fish and to control a powerful predator testing the depth. Comfort during fishing has also been carefully worked on: weight distribution reduces fatigue during long sessions, ideal for full days spent searching for surface activity or working long shorelines. For the angler who wants to reduce the number of rods on the boat or along the shore, this versatile saltwater rod quickly becomes a go-to tool.

Usage advice

The SMITH Dragonbait SeaBass LX performs best with a modern lure-focused saltwater setup. Pair it with a reel suited for coastal fishing and use a reasonably sized braided line, complemented by a sufficiently long fluorocarbon leader to remain discreet to wary fish. Use soft plastics when fish are tight to the bottom or inactive, focusing on structure, rocky heads and drop-offs. Switch to hard baits and stickbaits to quickly cover large areas, especially at sunrise and sunset. When fish are busting on the surface, the rod will show its full potential for jig casting: cast beyond the school, retrieve with a jerking/stop-and-go action and be ready to set the hook at the slightest lock. Rinse the rod with fresh water after every sea outing, check the guides and reel seat regularly, and store it in a protective sleeve to extend its service life.
