HTO Tempest - Bay Area | 8'8" | 6-30g | 0.8 - 1.5 PE | Tubular Tip

I’ve logged around 70 hours of fishing time so far with this rod since receiving it.
It’s an outstanding bit if kit for the money.
The light, crisp nature of the rod, fast recovery, with the sensitive tip and reel seat design putting your fingers on the blank mean you can feel even the most subtle of takes. It allows you to really feel the ground your covering as your lure bounces over it.
It works a top water well and casts like a dream.
In fact the less effort you put in to the cast the more you seem to get out of it.

I’ve had Bass to 5lb/57cm’s in fast flow and it has more than enough power to manage the fishes runs in fast flowing water towards structure.
It’s a real dream to play fish on, powerful and forgiving.

You’d struggle to find a better rod in this class for the money.
