Powerful rods built on Type 1 Slit Carbon blanks, for the absolute maximum strength-to-weight ratios. LET'S FACE IT: SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY TO CATCH BIG BASS IS TO GO INTO THE JUNGLE AFTER THEM! MEET THE BIG GUNS OF BASS FISHING.It's how you boat 10 lbs. of bass plus the 15 lbs. of salad she buried you in! You know it, because you've had your heart broken more than once. There are some MONSTER bass in those @#&! thickets and matted jungles. There's only ONE way those fish are coming outta there. Introducing NITRO--the only rod-and-reel system with the GUTS to get into those snag-infested places and GET THE JOB DONE. This kind of fishing in NOT for the faint of heart: sissies and whiners need not apply. Every inch of our NITRO is heavy-duty, designed to haul bass through the nastiest bass cover on the planet. If you're AFRAID to fish in those places...if you can't make yourself throw a big swimbait into a logjam...if the thought of using HEAVY BRAID gives you the willies...then just stay home. But if you're ready to TAKE YOUR shot at the biggest bass in the lake, THIS is your gear. We built the Bass Pro Shops® NITRO Big Bass Reel for one purpose: to catch the biggest, meanest fish in the lake. To get you bait into the nastiest places, and out again--and if it means hauling in the whole brush pile, so be it. Your average reel can't take this kind of abuse; rest assured, NITRO is no average reel. It's built on a fortified 1-piece aluminum frame, engineered for raw strength with sidecovers to match. No flex, no weaknesses. The spool is machined from ultra high-strength aluminum; built deep, it'll handle as much line as you need--mono or braid, your call. Our Power Handle is solid forged aluminum, a full 90mm long--pure muscle. The gear set is 100% high-strength brass including the shaft. Inside are seven double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings plus a stainless steel roller bearing for the PowerLock™ instant anti-reverse. Exclusive Radial Tuned Braking™, our externally adjustable magnetic/centrifugal cast control, gives you the ability the throw any bait, anytime. And with its 6-disc carbon-Teflon® drag system that generates up to 16.5 lbs. of run stopping power, this reel is ready to rumble with anything. Gear ratio: 6.2:1. Weight: 9.95 oz. Max drag: 16.5 lbs. Line recovery: 26'' per handle turn. Braid capacity: 50 lbs./150 yards. Mono capacity: 12 lbs./175 yards. Bass Pro Shops® NITRO Big Bass Rods: these are the BIG GUNS of bass fishing--made to manage big baits and big fish in heavy cover. Their edge is BALANCE. You won't kill yourself fishing "rough," and you'll feel more bites because these rods make it EASY. Our 1-piece, Type I Slit Carbon, 70 million modulus graphite blanks bring bigtime strength without the extra materials that makes other big rods clunky. They're the first bass rods ever to be fitted with new, state-of-the-art FUJI® SILICON NITRIDE GUIDES--the toughest, most sensitive and wear-resistant guides ever, developed for braided line. Our handles are extra long to give you (and your forearm) the leverage needed to haul back get 'em moving. Fishing big isn't pretty--but it's just plain UGLY with the wrong rod. Pick up a NITRO...and smile for the camera!
