Conceived as a complete series, it can handle a wide variety of waters and conditions while retaining an intuitive grip and constant line control.

Advantages and Key Features

The main strength of the Dragonbait Trout ALL RANGE lies in its balance between precision and versatility. The tip action allows lifelike animation of lures with great finesse: twitching small hard baits along the bank, short jerks beneath the rod tip, controlled drifts in strong current, or steady retrieves of soft plastics near the bottom. Every movement applied to the blank is faithfully transmitted to the lure, significantly increasing bite detection.

In a fight, the rod offers a progressive curve that secures the fish while protecting the fine leaders often used in trout fishing. This progression limits hook losses and delivers notable enjoyment, whether facing lively small fish or powerful trout. The power reserve remains controlled, allowing clean hooksets without over-stressing the tackle.

Another important advantage is user comfort. The SMITH Dragonbait Trout ALL RANGE was designed to accompany long hours of active prospecting. Its balance reduces wrist and forearm fatigue even when repeating casts in hard-to-reach sectors. This ease of use leads to better focus and therefore increased effectiveness on the water.

Usage Tips

The Dragonbait Trout ALL RANGE series is suitable for all approaches to trout lure fishing with hard baits and soft plastics, from small cluttered streams to larger rivers. To get the best from the rod, choose the model that matches the type of water and the lures you use, while staying within the manufacturer's recommended ranges.

On the water, favor precise and controlled presentations: short, sharp movements to trigger fish in cover, natural drifts letting the current work the lure, or slow and steady retrieves to tempt wary trout. The rod's tip action makes it possible to feel the slightest irregularity and instantly correct the lure's trajectory.

• Use fine, appropriate lines to fully benefit from the rod's sensitivity.
• Pay attention to the line for visual detection of the most subtle bites.
• Keep the rod at sufficient height to control drifts and avoid snags.
• Rinse and dry the rod carefully after each outing to extend its service life.
