Deep Sea Boat Rods XT250
DEEP POWER BOAT The second generation of deep bolentino rods represents the natural choice for those who have already chosen one of our electric reels. The blank, in XT250 carbon, is now built with Spiral X technology, which gives it great strength. Guides are SiC oval Fuji, perfect for fishing techniques using with thin super braids and the new actions give anglers the chance to choose models suitable for every depth, even up to 400 metres and more!
