SMITH Dragonbait Seabass 78 spinning rod

Dragonbait Sea-Bass 78 H, sensitive and powerful saltwater spinning rod

A rod designed for technical sea bass fishing

The Dragonbait Sea-Bass 78 H is part of a series developed specifically for the European market, with particular attention paid to the expectations of French lure anglers specialising in sea bass. It meets a precise demand: offering a highly sensitive, high-performance and responsive alternative, inspired by the spirit of top-of-the-range rods dedicated to technical and powerful saltwater fishing.

This 78 H version stands out with its longer and more powerful character compared to the 72 H, making it an ideal complement to cover more situations, especially when casting distance, lure control and the ability to hold back large fish become essential.

A power reserve suited to marine predators

At home on sea bass, pollack, meagre and pelagic species

Designed for heavy saltwater fishing, the Sea-Bass 78 H offers excellent versatility on lure-caught target species from the shore or from a boat. It excels on Atlantic sea bass, pollack and meagre, while retaining enough backbone to handle Atlantic bonito and bonito chases in the Mediterranean.

Its action and power reserve allow large soft lures to be worked effectively, while maintaining excellent feedback in the hand. This sensitivity is a major asset for detecting subtle takes, controlling drifts and setting the hook with precision.

A spinning rod for large soft lures

Control, distance and precision

The Dragonbait Sea-Bass 78 H is particularly well suited to anglers who use large soft lures, heavier rigs or animations requiring a rod that is both reactive and reassuring. Its length provides casting leverage, improves line control and makes fighting powerful fish easier.

Its T+1 construction maintains good blank continuity, promoting sensitivity and vibration transmission, while simplifying transport compared to a strictly one-piece rod.
