If squid fishing is your passion and you want a rod that truly sharpens your performance, the Bassterra XT+ Eging is built to deliver. It blends finesse, sensitivity, and technical precision, giving you the edge when it matters most. Constructed from High Modulus Full Carbon and enhanced with Diaflash technology, it offers exceptional feedback to detect even the lightest takes, along with the control needed to work EGI lures with accuracy and confidence. The fast, responsive tip ensures you can react instantly, turning subtle takes into solid hook-ups. Smooth under pressure and impressively lightweight, the rod feels perfectly balanced in hand, making it a pleasure to use during long sessions from piers, harbours, and rocky shorelines.
At the heart of the Bassterra XT+ Eging is a lightweight High Modulus Full Carbon blank, reinforced with Diaflash construction to enhance strength, responsiveness, lifting power and overall durability. This advanced design allows the rod to load efficiently for long-distance casting, while maintaining the finesse and sensitivity needed to detect delicate squid strikes, often felt as little more than a slight resistance or tap. The medium-fast action is specifically suited to Eging, with a responsive tip that brings EGI lures to life through sharp lifts and controlled falls. This ensures precise lure presentation and maximum control during each stage of the retrieve. At the same time, the rod retains enough backbone in the lower section to secure solid hook-ups and manage larger squid with confidence.
Premium components enhance performance throughout, including Fuji K-Type Stainless Steel Fazlite guides for smooth, tangle-free line flow, a Fuji TVS reel seat for a secure and comfortable grip, and a short ergonomic split EVA handle that reduces fatigue during repetitive casting and jerking actions. Reliable, responsive, and purpose-driven, it’s a perfect choice for serious squid anglers.
