Spinning Rod SMITH LAG LESS BORON TLB 45 DT/3

Product advantages

The SMITH Troutin Lagless Boron TLB trout rod is designed for demanding anglers seeking both precision and control in rivers. Its main purpose is to enable short, ultra-precise casts, notably between 5 and 10 meters, to place a lure or fly exactly into small water seams, crevices and cluttered margins where the best fish hold. Thanks to its high-end design, this rod combines lightness, responsiveness and power reserve, making it ideal for meticulous prospecting of rivers and streams for trout.

The Boron technology combined with multi-modulus carbon offers a fast blank recovery and limits parasitic vibrations. Result: a remarkable casting stability, a tight trajectory and great comfort, even after long hours on the water. The feel is intuitive; the rod forgives inaccuracies while remaining responsive enough to meet the demands of the most technical anglers.

Benefits and key strengths

The Troutin Lagless Boron TLB rod stands out for its ability to cast precisely near obstacles without sacrificing control during the fight. Its responsiveness allows you to control the lure or rig's trajectory from the first centimeters, which is decisive for fishing just under the rod, brushing rocks or in marked hides. In action, the blank works progressively, absorbing headshakes while keeping enough backbone to steer the fish out of cluttered areas.

This river trout rod suits both experienced anglers and enthusiasts looking to step up. It facilitates learning precision casting thanks to a healthy, predictable behavior. The overall balance reduces arm and wrist fatigue, even during active fishing when moving spot to spot. Finally, the supplied sleeve, which allows leaving the reel mounted, simplifies preparation and storage—very appreciated for short sessions or frequent travel.

Usage advice

To get the most from this precision trout rod, pair it with a lightweight reel and a set of fine, discreet lines. It excels in sight fishing, natural drift or light lure fishing, when every cast must land just behind an obstacle or on a precise seam. Adopt a smooth, tight-line stroke to take advantage of the blank's responsiveness and perfectly control the trajectory.

On rivers, approach quietly moving upstream and exploit marked spots: margins, breaks, shaded areas, current entries and exits. The rod's ability to absorb runs allows you to maintain control of large fish even when using relatively thin leaders. After each outing, quickly rinse the guides and handle, let the rod dry before storing it in its sleeve to preserve performance over time.
