About this rod
The Black Pearl Maxx series covers everything from lighter freshwater fishing through to heavier bass fishing applications, with travel rods in there as well. They are made in Germany rather than Asia, with a slightly longer grip than many of the Japanese rods and sensible sized guides. I like the ergonomic grip too. They are incredibly solid blanks and feel such good quality.
For bass fishing, this model is just a great all-rounder. It's got a slightly thicker tip than some of the Japanese models, which will help with a surface lure sometimes, while also making it feel like it has a slightly more regular action. It's actually a great plugging rod too. They feel really well balanced and nice and light, but it's just how solid they feel that's the notable feature. It's really nice actually.
Fittings: a blank of Japanese high modulus carbon, nine KW, KL and KT style SiC guides, a TVS or ACS style reel seat, an EVA Duplon split handle and a Seaguide D-hook keeper.
