Description
- The Tronixpro Competition Match HT (Hard Tip) is a high-end, three-piece continental-style beachcaster. As part of Tronixpro’s “Competition Match” series, it is designed for the discerning angler who requires a rod that can handle a wide range of situations, from long-distance casting to fine bite detection on various terrains.
Here is an in-depth description with specific details:
Key Features & Design:
- Hard Hybrid Tip: The “HT” in its name stands for “Hard Tip.” This indicates that the rod features a solid carbon hybrid tip section that is slightly stiffer than those found on more delicate rods. While it retains the excellent bite-detection sensitivity of a hybrid tip, its increased rigidity allows it to handle stronger tides, larger baits, and heavier leads without collapsing. This makes it a great “all-round” rod, particularly on mixed and clean ground.
- Powerful Mid and Butt Section: The HT is built with a powerful butt and mid-section. This power is essential for generating the compression and energy needed to cast heavy leads and baits to a long distance. The progressive action of the rod allows this power to blend smoothly into the sensitive tip, providing a balanced and efficient casting arc.
- Versatility for All-Round Fishing: This rod is a true workhorse, suited to fishing clean sandy beaches as well as light to medium mixed ground. Its combination of a powerful casting action and a sensitive tip means it can be used for a wide variety of species, from small flatfish and whiting to larger bass, rays, and smooth-hounds.
- Night Fishing Visibility: The tip is equipped with a reflective finish, which greatly enhances its visibility in low-light or night fishing conditions, making it easier to spot subtle bites.
Construction & Components:
- High-End Carbon Blank: The rod is constructed from Japanese 40-ton carbon from Mitsubishi, a high-modulus material that is lightweight yet incredibly strong. Tronixpro also utilizes Nano Graphene Matrix technology in the blank, a specialist material that is significantly stronger than steel of the same thickness. This advanced construction gives the rod exceptional recovery speed, increased strength, and heightened sensitivity.
- Quality Guides: The HT is rung throughout with Fuji CC Framed KWAG guides. These guides are renowned for their quality and performance, designed to minimize line twist and friction, which results in more efficient casting and longer distances. They are also suitable for a wide range of line diameters.
- Fuji DPS Reel Seat: The rod is fitted with a Fuji DPS reel seat, a standard in high-quality fishing rods known for securely holding both multiplier and fixed spool reels.
- Easy Joint System: A convenient “Easy Joint” system is included, which helps anglers to correctly align the rod sections during assembly.
- Ergonomic Handle: The butt section features a non-slip, rubberized, spiralled, ergonomic grip for comfort and a secure hold, especially during powerful casts.
Specifications:
- Length: Available in 4.2m (13′ 9″) and 4.5m (14′ 9″) options.
- Casting Weight: 110-225g (approximately 4-8oz). The optimum casting weight is stated as around 150g, where the rod performs at its best.
- Sections: Three-piece configuration.
Target Species and Situations:
The Tronixpro Competition Match HT is a perfect rod for the angler who wants a single, high-performance tool for diverse shore fishing scenarios. It is particularly effective for:
- Long-range casting on clean and mixed beaches.
- Handling strong tides and currents.
- Targeting powerful fish like bass, rays, and cod where a powerful cast and a strong backbone are required.
- At the same time, it can be used for more delicate fishing for flatfish and other smaller species.
