Shimano surprised me with the Bassterra model, surprisingly in a good way, because so far all their rods costing less than 100eur were too clumsy. This is probably because the Basstera series is a JDM market, Japanese engineers' rods, just like Luanamis, Dialuna, Adrena, Zadias or Salty Advance. The Bassterra XTP LRF series are classic lightweight jigs with a flexible glued limb. This more luxurious series is available with Fuji rings and Fuji reel holder. The result is a really classic micro jig at a really very good price. More about Bassterra rods here:
