Gamakatsu Rods It has been long known that Gamakatsu is the world’s leading manufacturer of high quality hooks. But besides the best fishing hooks, Gamakatsu also offers a mind-blowing range of specialist rods and accessories some of which are perfectly suitable for the European market. After a thorough market research we found that several of the high-end rod ranges carrying the Gamakatsu brand name were most suitable for sea and predator fishing. These rods feature top grade carbon material and original FujiŽ reel seats and guides. Specialists unanimously agree with us that these rods are the best ones in their kind and outperform most of what is currently commercially available in the European market.

Gamakatsu - Zexxer
Gamakatsu Zexxer Zexxer rods are designed in close consultation with Henk Simonsz to be assured of the latest trends and actions for a vast majority of avid anglers. Errorless blanks for serious anglers in search of predators such as Pike and Zander. 24373-630 Zexxer B63MH Ex-Fast / 24373-631 Zexxer S63MH Ex-Fast - These highly sensitive blanks feature a very responsive tip that allows the angler to sense any movement or touch of the jig; alarming him that predators are within the striking zone. 24373-632 Zexxer B63H Ex-Fast / 24373-633 Zexxer S63H Ex-Fast - Two blanks with an allround fast action that will cast just about any Pike lure. The stiff handle allows for jerkbaiting also with lures of up to about 65gr easily. An important but often neglected detail when checking the action of a rod: it is the angler that is in control of the lure’s movements and when striking into a fish. The Zexxer 63H has enough power to set the hook fast and hard enough to land big fish! 24373-634 Zexxer S63ML / 24373-700 Zexxer S70ML - Two blanks with a unique action for dropshot fishing from the boat. With great precision the bait can be presented and thanks to the sensitivity of these high-worthy carbon blanks the angler can closely monitor every movement. These Zexxer rods are developed for perch angling but we have reinforced the handle so that it can be used for pike and zander too. 24373-680 Zexxer B68XXH Heavy Duty - Special heavy-duty Baitcast rod for large Jerk- and Swimbaits. Fishing this kind of heavy hardbait is often a tiring hobby especially because the rod is heavy too. The Zexxer 68XXH is kept lightweight to ensure the angler does not sense any fatigue to his arm or shoulder. The sensitive tip action makes it almost impossible to foul hook or to lose a big fish. 24373-800 Zexxer B80XH Active-Fast / 24373-801 Zexxer S80XH Active-Fast Designed for long-distance casting and trolling with plugs and jigs of up to 80gr. Besides these techniques the rods are also ideal for deadbait fishing. No Pike will escape from this Active-Fast action! 24373-802 Zexxer S80ML - A longer version of the dropshot rods designed for fishing from the bank. This rod, despite its longer length, is highly sensitive allowing for controlled fishing of the lure over the bottom or over weed beds. Even the most careful bites are registered. The butt section is reinforced to be able to overpower pike and zander too.

Gamakatsu - Sfida
Gamakatsu Sfida A spinning rod series specifically developed for Trout and Zander fishing. Gamakatsu Sfida rods are precision-built with a combination of different high-modulus preimpregnated carbon fibers to reach its unsurpassed quality, strength and action. Besides this, the Sfida series features a Portuguese cork grip, an original Fuji® reelseat and Fuji® guides with stainless steel frames to further enhance the light weight and to assure a perfect balance. All rods are equipped with a stylish laser cut flat cone and a hook keeper for safe and easy transportation.
24371-630 Sfida 63UL - ‘Performance’ is a keyword for this blank because it allows the angler to make the lure perform better. Thereby, this ultra lightweight version lets the angler ‘feel’ when fish takes the bait; signalling the moment to strike. However lightweight, the action of this blank is firm enough to combat the fish and take charge in order to securely land the hooked fish. 24371-700 Sfida 70UL - A perfect blank for casting small to medium size lures. Whether they are spoons or plugs, this rod is the perfect choice for its tip action. But do not get fooled by the light action for the butt section is stiff enough to hook up and fight aggressive Trout and Zander. 24371-760 Sfida 76ML - With its length and casting weight, this rod is very allround in its performance and handling. It casts virtually any applicable lure when spinning for Trout and Zander and is built to solidly set the hook. The forgiving action when fighting fish allows using a slightly thinner line for better lure presentation. 24371-820 Sfida 82M - The perfect blank for plugs and larger sized spoons when searching for predators in big rivers and lakes. This longest blank in the Sfida range features a fast action for accurate casting but offers plenty of sensitivity and control over the lure and hooked fish.
