Snowbee
Seabass Special Rod 8'6''

IN STOCK NOW!

Casting Weight: 8 -35g

I can hardly describe how surprised I am at the quality of these rods. It's Snowbee's first outing in to the lure rod market, but what they have come up with is absolutely spot-on in my eyes! I've only selected the 8g-35g model from the range because I just feel that it maay prevent people buying in to rods that I personally feel are generally too heavy for the UK. There will of coarse be times when a 50g or 60g rod is required, but the truth is that this rod will actually chuck 99.9% of the lures we have in the shop.

You can tell I think, that Snowbee are suppliers of Smith products in the UK. This rod shares some familiar features (mostly in the guides) - and that's no bad thing!

The action is fast and moderately soft, while the body of the rod is very powerful for chucking hard baits especially. It will make a GREAT hard bait rod, and will surely fish soft baits down to 7 or 10g.

I'm more than impressed by this rod to be honest. I had a few casts with a prototype last year so knew that they'd be nice to use, but this model far exceeds my expectations.

Snowbee say...

The ultra-fast blanks use our well proven 'Tri-Modulus Carbon' Technology. We use a subtle mix of different modulus carbon fibres down through the blank, to achieve the exact action required – a fast, but sensitive tip, with a smooth, progressive power curve down through the blank. To help achieve this, we use a unique carbon lay-up, called 'Helical-Core Construction'' whereby strips of carbon pre-preg matt progressively overlap one another to create an ultra-light, but immensely strong blank, with a gradually increasing stiffness. A section of the blank is left exposed to show this distinctive construction method. 
 
Having perfected the blank, we then set about creating the ultimate Bass spinning rod. A short butt section tucks neatly inside the elbow & allows easy casting & quick hand change, as required. Fitted with a quality Fuji reel seat & high density ethafoam grips for comfort and finished with lightweight, machined aluminium fittings, with a light metallic blue anodising, to complement the lustrous deep blue of the blank. 
 
Fitted with low-profile guides, which provide quick 'taming' of coils coming off a fixed spool reel at high speed. Lined with Sic rings, for ultra-low friction & maximum line speed. These ‘new-generation' guides are finding favour with the top Japanese brands, as they provide top performance, but unlike the more conventional single-leg rings, will also stand up to rough handling if you are ‘rock-hopping' craggy shores.
