BOLO RODS Gianluigi Sorti shows a Barbel caught on the bolo.
ATOMIC X2 ALLROUND Through the X2 you get into contact with the stunning power which gained the Atomic concept a leading position in the segment of powerful bolos. Capable to cast up to 60 grams rig and lift up to 2 kilos weight, these rods can shock all those who like the strong tractions and consequently check the tackle very well before buying any. The safety is ensured by the carbon cross winding, which binds the blank up to second section, just to leave the top
some freedom to develop its action curve. A true braiding - not to be confused with cosmetic finish - which contrasts the deformations when the rod is heavily loaded and disperse the stress along the blank. Quality components are certainly worth the addition, like Pac Bay plate reel seat (size 7) and SiC medium leg guides with “Y” shaped frame to avoid vibrations during retrieve.
ATOMIC X4 FORMULA A nice blend of strength and balance gives a certain appeal to these new rods, which are sitting in the middle of Atomic range. As a matter of fact, too many Bolognese belonging to “super power” class are perfect on casting ability, but actually show poor balance or difficult handling. With casting weight up to 80 grams and able to lift up to 3 chilos, X4 rods can face the toughest conditions on the river, lake or at sea side without fear, thanks to the CX1
carbon construction, protected by cross carbon braiding. With hooklinks in the range of 0,20-0,25 mm diameter, these rods can really stop those endless runs and lift the fish from water in case landing net could not be used. Guides are “Y” frame medium leg with SiC ring. Pac Bay reel seat of size 7 to accept big size reels.
ATOMIC X6 FORMULA If your favourite fishing condition is not suitable for the most powerful bolo available in the market, you certainly need an Atomic X6! Realistically, these rods can cast up to 100 grams rig and actually lift up to 6 chilos weight, but how many anglers could do so? For this reason, the series is made of 5 and 6 metres length only, as longer ones would have resulted out of control by the user. The rod can deal with sturdy hooklinks

around 0,25-0,30 mm in diameter and, exactly like the other X2 and X4, it can be used for light drifting because CX1 carbon wall is assisted by carbon yarn braiding from butt to second section.
