Shimano Stradic Seabass Spinning 7’6″ 20-60g 1+1pc FTrac

Shimano Stradic Seabass Spinning | 7’6″ 20-60g 1+1pc FTrac

The Ultimate Vertical Jigging Specialist for Trophy Seabass.

For the angler who targets Seabass when they are holding deep or suspended in mid-water, the Shimano Stradic Seabass FTrac is a precision instrument. At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend this specific “Fast Traction” model for those who prefer vertical techniques over standard casting. Dressed in the iconic Stradic white, this rod doesn’t just look the part—it is engineered to provide the super-fast power transfer required for technical boat fishing.

The 20-60g rating makes this a heavy-hitter, perfect for working heavier jigs and soft plastics in deep water or strong currents. The FTrac (Fast Traction) action is specifically designed to maximize vertical performance, providing a blank that is incredibly responsive to every lift and drop of the rod tip. Reinforced with Diaflash technology in the butt section, this rod eliminates blank twist, ensuring that when you strike, the power is transferred instantly to the hook, and when you’re playing a big fish, you have the lifting weight to bring it to the surface.

With its 1+1 construction (the blank fits directly into the handle), you get the uninterrupted power and sensitivity of a one-piece rod with the convenience of a removable handle for easier storage.

Where to Use This Rod

• Deep Water Vertical Jigging: The 20-60g rating is ideal for “micro-jigging” or using metal jigs over deep reefs and sandbanks where Seabass are hunting sandeels.

• Wreck Fishing with Soft plastics: Perfect for dropping heavy-headed paddletails or “shad” style lures vertically into the structure of a wreck and “working the columns.“

• Strong Tidal Races: The Fast Traction action allows you to keep in constant contact with your lure even in heavy flows, ensuring you feel the lightest of “plucks” from a following fish.

• Suspended Fish over Structure: When your fish-finder shows Bass holding mid-water over a pinnacle, the responsiveness of this rod allows for the high-frequency lure animation needed to trigger a strike.
