The Salty Stage, a rod suitable for all fish species and suited to any saltwater game, has undergone its first full model change in 10 years.
This rod employs Abu Garcia's proprietary TAF (Triarchy Force) blank manufacturing method, previously only available on high-end models.
The blanks are made from 100% domestic carbon and are completely unpainted, and are equipped with FUJI SiC-S guides.
The XLRC-69LT-BF is a bait-casting finesse model focused on light rock fishing.
The short length of 6 feet 9 inches maximizes the quick handling characteristic of bait-casting finesse.
It covers a wide range of light rock fishing targets, including red spotted grouper, Japanese rockfish, red spotted grouper, red spotted grouper, and rockfish.
This aggressive rod is perfect for fishing in spots that spinning rods struggle to reach, such as hitting holes in wave-breaking blocks, seaweed beds that extend all the way to the surface, and approaches to quays and boatsides.
The optimal line is 7-10 lbs for fluorocarbon, and 0.8-1.2 lbs for PE line (8-14 lbs for leader).
