Inshore – the boat fishing lure rod that comes in a long tip, short butt configuration, which enhances the power curve of the rod. This is a crisp, responsive blank that has a slightly more progressive action than the other rods in the Tempest range. Primarily designed for working soft lures from a boat, it also lends itself to working metals as well. A powerful butt section helps to subdue hard fighting fish when fishing vertically, such as bass, pollack, and wrasse.
We’ve named each Tempest rod based on the type of fishing it’s suited for. Instead of aimless length and weight descriptions, we’ve given you an idea of what each rod is designed to do.
All rods are made from a high-volume 40-ton Japanese carbon, this helps keep the blanks light but ultra-strong and crisp. It aids their recovery, making these the most accurate, distance casting tools we’ve ever produced at this price. We’ve further strengthened the blanks by using X-Tec Mesh, this unique wrap protects the integrity of the blank, further enhancing its performance and durability.
A wise man once said, “to add speed, add lightness” — to that end, we’ve looked at each rod and removed several whippings to reduce their weight, many rods have unnecessary whippings around the reel seats and butt caps. These are merely cosmetic, but add weight. We also think this minimalistic style looks cool, too!
All rods are built using Fuji Guides and Fuji Reel Seats.
