Tradition 96 is a model with flexibility, high elasticity and lightness blended into this single blank with added controllability to go head to head with monstrous seabass. Unlike those heavy models which simply tend to be way too stiff, this rod will create a parabolic bend curve even when smaller fish are on, yet having extreme torque once more load is on the blank. Although it has a parabolic bending ability, we have managed to maintain the Ripple Fisher spirit in the blank with sharpness when casting. This bend enables anglers to parry the sudden torquful dash from the fish, while efficiently and easily surfacing the lunker size seabass. This Tradition 96 is a rod for anglers who definitely wants to land the monstrous fish. (The blank has not been renewed from the old naming “Monster Impact Tradition 96”)
