Berkley Lightning Shock Spinning Rods - $49.99

Braided superline has become a mainstay over the recent years in the bass fishing world, and the fishing world in general. Because of its popularity and widespread use, Berkley introduced the Berkley Lightning Shock Spinning Rod Series, designed specifically for superline fishing. Anglers often turn to braided line for its strength, zero-stretch attributes, and smaller diameters, but these same benefits pose many challenges to normal fishing rods. Featuring sizes and actions specifically suited to fishing superlines, the Berkley Lightning Shock Spinning Rods deliver several key innovations and features to combat the rigors of braided superline fishing.

For one, each Berkley Lightning Shock Spinning Rod features a Strike Amplifying Tip (SAT), designed to accommodate for braid's lack of stretch. By blending fiberglass with graphite, Berkley was able to produce a slower-reacting tip, which for anglers, results in fewer lost fish. Delivering the ideal backbone as well for fishing braided superlines, the Berkley Lightning Shock Spinning Rods' lightweight 1K Power Helix blank construction provides the power necessary for solid hooksets and the strength to steer large fish away from trouble. Aluminum Oxide Guides, diamond polished to a rich, blank surface, provide increased durability and reduced friction. The guide frames are also engineered to sit closer to the rod blank to help decrease wind knots, and resist twisting or bending under the extreme stress loads inherent to fishing with superline. In addition, the tip-guide is rounded out toward the rod tip to reduce the occurrence of wind-assisted loop knots at the end of the rod - an issue often associated with fishing superlines.

Also equipped with a revolutionary Suspending Reel Seat, the reel seat's unique design removes the dampening effect of the reel from the rod blank, maximizing the sensitivity emanating into the angler's hands. The Berkley Lightning Shock Spinning Rods' Split-Grip Handle design also facilitates a greater sensitivity transfer, while providing optimum balance and reduced weight. Offering anglers affordable rods for fishing braided superlines to their full potential, the Berkley Lightning Shock Casting Rods are perfect for any braided superline situation.
