'FlatFish Program' Rough Surf 88

Ignoring the ''Flatfish'' tag, these rods are extremely useful to the UK saltwater lure fisherman. Extremely versatile, they're happy chucking a mix of soft and hard baits. The Japanese way of fishing for flatfish is by standing in the surf, slowly bouncing soft or hard baits back along the sand. Sound familiar to the way you fish for bass here?! ...does to me. ...but they won't only be useful rods for bass! The Rough Surf makes a great rod for fishing all types of hard bait, along with large or smaller, moving soft baits. This one really is what we'd generally refer to as a 'plugging rod' in the UK - although in this case, it's much more. The subtle matt blue colour and unique (extremely comfortable) handle gives them quite a character and the class certainly shows through in the finish!

Here's what Nories themselves have to say:

The new saltwater gamefish is flatfish. Many hard-core anglers have enjoyed fishing for flatfish for many years, and now its appeal has been discovered by new set of anglers. Being able to be enjoyed almost everywhere, and with a wide range of various techniques available, it is enough to make even veterans quiver with excitement.
