SMITH Dragonbait Sea Bass Rod

Dragonbait Sea-Bass, a range of sea spinning rods dedicated to technical sea bass fishing

A series developed for demanding European anglers

The Dragonbait Sea-Bass series was designed to meet the expectations of experienced anglers, particularly in France, looking for sensitive, high-performance rods suited to lure fishing for sea bass. This range takes the spirit of high-end rods focused on precision and feel, with models designed to cover different situations at sea.

From boat to shore, from surface feeding frenzies to beach fishing, each Sea-Bass rod has a clear identity. The range allows you to choose the model best suited to your style of fishing, while sharing a common foundation: sensitivity, power reserve, casting comfort and fishing efficiency.

Three models to cover all saltwater approaches

The Dragonbait Sea-Bass 72 H is the versatile model in the series. It is aimed at sea bass anglers looking for a rod capable of alternating between stickbaits, casting jigs and soft lures. Its sensitivity allows good lure and bite reading, while its power reserve in the butt section provides the control needed during fights.

The Dragonbait Sea-Bass 78 SH offers more length and power. It makes an excellent complement for more powerful fishing situations, whether in the Mediterranean targeting Atlantic bonito and plain bonito feeding frenzies, or on the Atlantic coast searching for sea bass, pollack and meagre with larger lures. It retains great versatility while delivering more authority.

The Dragonbait Sea-Bass 100 H is designed for shore fishing, from beaches, jetties, beach gutters or rocky coastlines. Its length promotes long-distance casting and line control in waves or current. Light for its size, it allows you to fish effectively with stickbaits, casting jigs and lipless minnows from the shore.

A range focused on sensitivity, distance and control

Dragonbait Sea-Bass rods are designed to transmit essential information during fishing action: contact with the lure, changes in bottom composition, subtle takes or aggressive strikes. This sensitivity is a genuine asset for soft lure fishing, but also for precise animation of hard lures.

The power reserve available on each model allows you to stay in control when facing hard-fighting sea fish. Whether the goal is to cast a jig into a feeding frenzy, work a stickbait through the surf or keep a fish from running in the current, the Sea-Bass range offers a suitable response.

A coherent selection for sea bass specialists

With its three variants, the Dragonbait Sea-Bass range allows you to build a complete setup for saltwater lure fishing. The 72 H covers versatile needs, the 78 SH meets the demands of more powerful fishing and the 100 H is the go-to for long-distance shore fishing.

This series is aimed at anglers looking for technical, reliable and effective rods capable of handling demanding sessions targeting sea bass, pollack, meagre, Atlantic bonito and plain bonito.
