Shimano Stradic Seabass Spinning | 6’11” 30-80g 1+1pc FTrac

The Heavy-Duty Vertical Specialist for Deep Water Predators.

When the fish move into deep water or hold tight to sunken structures in heavy tides, you need a rod built for “Fast Traction.” The Shimano Stradic Seabass 6’11” (30-80g) is a specialized vertical tool designed for maximum power and instant response. At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend this model for anglers who prioritize technical jigging over casting. Clad in the legendary Stradic white, this rod provides the perfect balance of elegance and raw strength to match your Stradic spinning reels.

The 30-80g rating makes this the most powerful rod in the series, specifically engineered to handle heavy metal jigs and large weighted soft plastics. The FTrac (Fast Traction) action is tuned for a shorter, more powerful stroke, ensuring that your lure reacts instantly to every rod movement. Built on a High Modulus Carbon blank and reinforced with Diaflash technology, this rod provides immense lifting weight, allowing you to bully big Bass or Pollack away from the sharp edges of a wreck.

The 1+1 construction (blank into handle) ensures that the rod behaves like a true one-piece, providing a seamless flow of power from the tip through to the handle, which is essential when vertical jigging in deep water.

Where to Use This Rod

• Deep Water Wreck Fishing: The 30-80g rating is perfect for dropping heavy shads or “slow jigs” vertically into deep-water wrecks where trophy Bass and Pollack reside.

• Strong Tidal Races: Ideal for fishing over sandbanks or rocky pinnacles in fast-moving water where you need heavy leads or jigs (up to 80g) just to reach the strike zone.

• Vertical “Speed Jigging”: The Fast Traction action is built for high-energy lure animation, making it excellent for “speed jigging” for active predators.

• Heavy Boat Tactics: Because of its shorter 6’11” length, it is incredibly maneuverable on a busy charter boat, allowing you to work your lure vertically right under the hull without interference.

Key Features

• FTrac (Fast Traction) Action: Specifically engineered for vertical accuracy and super-fast power transfer from the strike to the hook set.

• Diaflash Technology: A reinforced carbon cross-wrap in the butt section that prevents blank twist and increases the lifting power for deep-water battles.

   

• High Modulus Carbon Blank: Remarkably light for such a powerful rod, offering responsive feedback that makes the rod “come alive” in your hand.

• Iconic Stradic Design: The high-end white finish matches the world-renowned Stradic reel range for a professional look.

• Premium Fuji Hardware: Outfitted with Fuji Alconite guides for durability and a Fuji VSS reel seat for a rock-solid reel connection.

   

• Saltwater-Durable Grips: Modern, wipe-clean split-grip EVA handles provide a secure, comfortable hold even when covered in salt and slime.
