Benefits and strengths

The main asset of this trout rod is its ability to cast small lures far while remaining very accurate. Whether spinning blades, spoons or small crankbaits, the power reserve allows reaching distant spots without losing control or finesse.

Its progressive action provides great comfort during the fight: the rod works over a large portion of its length, cushions trout headshakes and greatly reduces the risk of losing the fish, even when tension varies or the fish suddenly changes direction.

Thanks to its sensitivity, the Smith Dragonbait Trout rod allows you to feel the lure's action, current changes, obstacles and the most subtle bites. This precise reading of the bottom and water column makes it a true asset for triggering strikes from educated fish, while offering great versatility depending on the type of lure used.

Usage tips

To fully benefit from this trout fishing rod, it is recommended to pair it with a light spinning reel, equipped with a thin braid or a monofilament of diameter suitable for the targeted fish and local regulations. A well-balanced outfit improves casting precision and distance while preserving comfort.

Always match the weight and type of lure to the indications printed on the rod and to fishing conditions. In lakes or large bodies of water, favor lures capable of covering large areas quickly, while in rivers it is often preferable to use more compact models for natural drifts with the current.

Keep a slight tension on the line at all times to fully benefit from the sensitivity of the Smith Dragonbait Trout rod and perceive the slightest bite. After each session, rinse the rod with fresh water, dry the guides and check the general condition of the blank and handle to ensure the longevity of your gear.
