Tronixpro Guerilla Flattie GT 11′ – 1-3oz 2sec

Tronixpro Guerilla Flattie GT 11′ (1-3oz)

The Ultimate Lightweight Finesse Tool for the Shore & Estuary.

There is nothing quite like the “savage rattle” of a Flounder or the delicate tap of a Plaice, and the Tronixpro Guerilla Flattie GT is designed to make sure you feel every single one. At 11ft, this rod is a world away from a heavy beachcaster; it is a lightweight, fast-tapered “scratching” rod designed to be held for long periods, allowing you to stay in constant contact with your terminal tackle.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that estuary and surf fishing require a specialized touch. The “GT” (Glass Tip) hybrid technology provides a hyper-sensitive top section that registers the tiniest bites, while the 1K carbon-weave butt ensures there is plenty of backbone for setting the hook quickly or handling a surprise school Bass.

Why the Flattie GT is a Must-Have:

• Hyper-Sensitive Hybrid Tip: The spliced-in tip is designed for one thing: bite detection. It highlights everything from a cautious Dab to a ferocious Flounder, finished in high-viz white for easy spotting in the low light of a rising tide.

• Lightweight “Hold-All-Day” Design: Weighing significantly less than a standard shore rod, this 11ft blank reduces arm fatigue. It’s perfect for “wandering” a beach or active estuary fishing where you’re constantly moving with the water.

• Fast Taper Power: Don’t let the 1-3oz rating fool you. The fast taper means the rod shuts off quickly, providing the “snap” needed to set the hook at distance or steer a fish through a running estuary current.

• Premium Build Quality: Features a 1K carbon-weave butt for strength, metal collars on the spigot for longevity, and premium anti-tangle K-Guides that handle thin mono and braid with ease.

Where to Use It (Pro Recommendations)

• Estuary “Scratching”: The natural home of this rod. Ideal for fishing the gutters and mudflats of the Wyre or Lune estuaries. Use it with a 2oz plain lead and a 3-hook flapper rig for maximum fun.

• The Surf Zone: When the Flounder and Plaice are sitting just behind the first breaker, this rod allows you to “flick” baits into the zone with pin-point accuracy.

• School Bass Hunting: Perfect for “light-line” fishing for schoolies. The forgiving tip prevents hooks from pulling, while the mid-section has enough power to handle a 3lb+ fish in the surf.

• Pier & Promenade Finesse: If you’re fishing straight down the side of a pier wall or a promenade for mini-species or flatfish, the 11ft length is much more manageable than a full-sized beachcaster.

Gerry’s Tip: This is the ultimate “fun” rod. Because it’s so sensitive, even a 1lb Flounder feels like a monster. We recommend pairing this with a small 3000 or 4000 size fixed spool reel and thin 20lb braid for the ultimate “direct-feel” setup.
