The Dragonbait NX4 Straight Vertical 2 is a technical spinning rod designed for finesse predator fishing. Sensitive, reactive, and comfortable, it excels with soft lures, drop shot, and precise presentations. Its premium blank delivers excellent take detection and a strong power reserve to control fish with efficiency.
The Dragonbait NX4 Straight Vertical 2 follows in the footsteps of the most popular models in the Dragonbait range, with a notable evolution in blank design and fishing comfort. Built for demanding anglers, it offers excellent sensitivity and great precision in lure animation, particularly for vertical fishing, drop shot, and light soft lures.
Its premium blank, made from Toray and Mitsubishi carbon, benefits from a modern construction combining reactivity, finesse, and resilience. This design allows the slightest information transmitted by the lure to be felt, while retaining sufficient reserve to set the hook effectively and control predators.
The Dragonbait NX4 Straight Vertical 2 follows the spirit of the Straight Verticale LX, with a slightly longer blank and a broader range of use. This evolution adds versatility, whether for weightless rigs, drop shot fishing, light jig heads, or small hard lures.
The braided carbon extension at the front of the handle improves comfort when the angler keeps a finger on the blank. Its hollow structure also acts as a true resonance chamber, enhancing the perception of takes and bottom contact.
The slightly extended handle provides better comfort during active fishing, particularly during long sessions or precise presentations. The impregnated wood insert at the butt contributes to the overall balance of the rod, while adding a refined and high-quality finish.
The Fuji SIC guides and the IPS-D16 reel seat ensure excellent reliability, smooth line flow, and perfect consistency with the technical use of this spinning rod.
This rod is particularly well suited to vertical soft lure fishing, jig head, and drop shot. It also proves effective for weightless approaches and the use of small hard lures, such as minnows, jerkbaits, crankbaits, lipless cranks, poppers, stickbaits, or small spinnerbaits.
