Spinning Rod SMITH LAG LESS BORON TLB 79 DT

Product Highlights

The Smith Troutin Lagless Boron TLB 79 DT rod is engineered for demanding anglers seeking a reliable, high-performance rod to tackle large rivers and lakes. Its responsive blank provides a fast action that allows precise control of lure presentations and instant hooksets, even at long range.

Designed for the pursuit of large fish, this rod combines power and sensitivity. The power reserve located in the butt secures fights with large trout and other predatory species, while the tip's responsiveness faithfully transmits lure vibrations and the slightest strike. This combination makes it an ideal tool for prospecting wide areas on rivers or lakes while maintaining maximum angling comfort.

Thanks to its premium construction, the Troutin Lagless Boron rod enables long, accurate and repeatable casts without excessive fatigue. The overall balance and quality of the handle provide a natural grip, improving casting accuracy under overhangs, along shorelines or toward distant spots in open water.

Advantages and Key Strengths

The Troutin Lagless Boron TLB 79 DT stands out for its ability to launch lures long distances while keeping a very high level of control. This capability is especially valuable for covering strong current seams, deep holes, lake flats or distant berms where the biggest fish often hold.

Its fast and powerful blank maintains control of the fish at all times. During fights, the progressive bend absorbs headshakes and reduces lost hooks while preserving the energy needed to extract a fish from cover or a strong current. This versatility makes it perfectly suited to large rivers, reservoirs and deep lakes.

Angling comfort is also a major strength. The contained weight, studied balance and quality components reduce muscular fatigue throughout the day. The angler thus keeps full concentration to read the water, adjust cast trajectories and adapt lure actions according to fish activity.

Usage Tips

To fully exploit this rod for large rivers and lakes, pair it with a smooth, reliable spinning reel loaded with braided line or monofilament of diameter suitable for the targeted species. This combination ensures smooth passage through the guides and optimizes casting distance.

The rod is particularly well suited to using crankbaits, spoons and soft plastics rigged on appropriate jigheads for the depth and current speed. On rivers, alternate controlled drifts, three-quarter upstream casts and downstream retrieves to explore all water layers. On lakes, focus on drop-offs, rubble and fish-holding structure, varying actions and retrieve speeds.

After each trip, rinse the rod thoroughly with fresh water, wipe the guides and handle, then store it in a sleeve or protective tube. This simple maintenance prolongs the life of your Smith Troutin Lagless Boron rod and preserves its performance season after season.
