Are you looking for maximum sensitivity and excitement while fishing with the lightest lures? Introducing the “Shimano Bassterra LRF” —a spinning rod that, although designed globally for the “Light Rock Fishing” style, is simply ideal for “ultra-light” and light spinning in Lithuanian lakes, rivers, and the Curonian Lagoon. It’s a rod that delivers a real adrenaline rush with every bite and is highly regarded for its exceptional value for money.
This rod is designed for those who appreciate the thrill of fishing, sensitivity, and the direct transfer of every fish’s tug right into your hand. With the “Bassterra LRF,” you have complete control and can precisely manipulate micro-lures—whether you’re jigging for perch in the lagoon or searching for predators in deep lakes while spin fishing from a boat. The exceptionally sensitive tip instantly transmits even the slightest touch, turning even a small strike from a striped bass into an unforgettable thrill.
The spinning rod blank is made of fast-action “Full Carbon” carbon fiber and reinforced with “Diaflash” technology. This ensures a perfect balance between sensitivity, quick response, and excellent casting performance—all essential when fishing with ultra-light lures. With this spinning rod, you’ll cast small spoons or wobblers deceptively far and control soft plastic lures with extreme precision along the bottom’s contours.
“Full Carbon” and “Diaflash” blank: Provides the rod with fast action, strength, and ensures excellent casting performance.
Super-sensitive tip: Allows you to feel even the most subtle bites when the fish is just “nibbling” at the bait.
“Fuji K-Type O-Ring” guides: Corrosion-resistant and ideally suited for use with both the thinnest braided lines and monofilament.
Designed for boat fishing: This “Boat Spinning” model features optimal length and ergonomics, allowing for comfortable and effective spinning in the confined space of a boat.
Spinning is one of our strongest areas, so we fully understand how important the sensitivity of your gear is when fishing with the lightest lures. This Shimano model will undoubtedly meet the needs of today’s Lithuanian spinning angler. We invite you to check out the “Bassterra A LRF Boat Spinning” in person at our store in Kaunas, Pramonės pr. 41A, where we’ll advise you and help you pair this rod with a perfectly balanced reel and the thinnest braided line for a successful fishing trip.
The Bassterra and Bassterra XT LRF series spinning rods were designed by Japanese engineers for the JDM market, and this is evident when comparing them to similarly priced models designed by Dutch manufacturers for our market. Like most Shimano models, the Bassterra outperforms its European counterparts in its price category. If you’ve never been a fan of Shimano’s mid-range spinning rods, such as the Beastbaster or Nasci, the Bassterra is a different story. The Bassterra is just as flexible, fast, and smooth in the hand as Shimano’s JDM-market spinning rods—the Salty Advance, Lunamis, or Dialuna.
