TROLLING
TROLLING Saverio Rosa Simone Chiariglione
TROLLING When you are boating on the sea and trolling for big predators you cannot make any compromise, otherwise you risk to miss the fish of your life. Our new trolling rods are born to avoid such serious drawback. Our top of the range families are Windrose Titanium, Windrose Pro Fighter and T-Game, and we believe they will become your best allies in the magic moment when the fish of your life will attack your lure.
ZARATAN
The Windrose Acid and Zaratan Acid rods differ from all the other trolling rods by a peculiar guide’s configuration, which is known worldwide as “Acid” or “Spiral Wrapped”. Instead of being in line, they follow a spiral which surrounds the blank, getting aligned only in the top area, with the last guides and the top guide oriented downward. So the line never touches the blank, when the power of a big fish bends it to the limit, without inducing abnormal twists in the rod and reducing fatigue with the user.
In order to ease the intervention of the thumb during the line spooling, the stripper guide is offset by 7° to the left, with respect to the axis of reel seat’s hoods.
ACID PLUS
According to the ancient mythology, Zaratan was a marine monster. Today it’s a fantastic series of rods designed for trolling and drifting. Characterized by a particularly attractive look, based on aggressive colours and details “tone on tone”, Zaratan born from a high technology and is completed by no compromise components. The rods are made by a single, solid piece of E-Glass for a total resistance, ensuring extreme flexions during the fight and presenting a neat, powerful return movement of the blank during pumping of the fish. This “automatic return” tires the fish and preserves the angler’s back even when fishing the big tuna in stand up with braided lines on to the reel. The guides belong to Sea Guide Heavy Duty class, with stainless steel frame and SiC ring, fixed by double wrappings according to the Acid Spiral Wrapping concept, which prevents the line to get in contact with the blank when it is sharply bent. The reel seat is

TITANIUM ACID PLUS
The expected evolution of the prestigious Windrose Titanium is finally here to impress the most demanding enthusiasts of trolling with live bait, either with the downrigger or the attendant lead. Thanks to the spiral positioning of the rings, it acquires additional operating power, and that’s why we nicknamed it as “Plus”. Its reactivity in the strike stage makes it also excellent for surface trolling with live bait to big Bluefish and Leerfish. Structured in Nano Fiber Carbon, high tech material that allows the production of ultra thin blanks displaying astonishing performance, this series offers a funny parabolic progressive action and allows a perfect management of the fight with the big Amberjack, Snapper, Grouper, Bluefish and Leerfish. The guides are Sea Guide SiC with oval shape ring and low profile frame, fixed by double wrappings to prevent the direct contact with blank when it’s sharply bent.
