In the tip section it creates a greater response which in turn makes the control of the lure more effective and the fishing action more pleasant. Available in 5 models with medium, medium-heavy and heavy actions, to cover all sizes of popular bass baits, from the smallest 4g bass through to 65g crankbaits and metal jigs, the Bassterra XT is finished with Fuji Stainless Steel Fazlite guides, custom designed VSS plate and a split EVA grip.
