SMITH Be Sticky Trout Hiro-Motoyama Model BST-EXS45UL / C3

A model exclusively for "mountain stream bait finesse" advocated by Hiroyuki Motoyama

"Mountain stream bait finesse" style advocated by Hiroyuki Motoyama.

In addition to the reel that is the core of the style, the BST (Be Sticky Trout) bait finesse model is a rod dedicated to mountain stream bait finesse that Hiroyuki Motoyama felt the need and created in pursuit of the ideal.

Spec list : 

■ Blank is made of carbon, unsanded finish
■ Guide: All models are equipped with Fuji titanium frame SIC guide. Small caliber original setting

The action BST series, which pursues usability in mountain stream bait finesse, is a UL power moderate taper. A tip section where you can feel the weight of the lure even a little when casting a lightweight lure. In addition, the release point at the time of casting can be easily grasped, and the twitch of the sinking minnow is finished in a tapered design that can be done lightly without stress.

In the high visible color thread & site top bait tackle, where visibility is also a weapon, the release point at the time of casting is located behind the spinning tackle, making it difficult for anglers to see. Especially when it becomes a dim mountain stream where the light is blocked by trees. Therefore, by adopting "High Visible Color Thread Sight Top", threads with high visibility gradually come into view, making it easy for beginners to grasp the timing of the cast.

The sight top, which uses a highly visible blank color, promotes more accurate rod work by visually confirming that the tip is reciprocating regularly without violence during twitching. The sight top has the effect of correcting blurring and habits of rod operation.

BST-EXS43UL / C3 (3PIECE MODELS)

A 3pcs model with a closed size of 55cm that is convenient for moving. Designed exclusively for mountain stream bait finesse. In the first half of 4 feet, the release point at the time of casting tends to be more difficult to grasp, but one of the concepts of mountain stream bait finesse is still comfortable casting performance. The release point at the time of casting (the timing when the load of the lure is felt by the rod) is clarified, and the rod is finished to fully demonstrate the performance of the bait finesse reel. Please enjoy the superiority of mountain stream BF, which is possible because it is an EXS short rod.

Spec : 

Blanks: Lightweight blanks that have been stripped of waste. The tip part is the site top that emphasizes visibility.

Shaku marker: The distance between the marker spot at the butt end and the marker wrap on the blank is 30 cm. It is a guide for simple fish length measurement (adopted for BST-EXS model).

Grip: High-grade cork grip. Uses a Fuji ACS sheet that matches the low profile bait reel.

Ferrule: BST-HM model has 2 pieces, BST-EXS series has irregular 3 pieces. Adopted spigot ferrule that realizes a natural bending curve and enables smooth power transfer.

Guide: All models use Fuji / Titanium frame K guide. The small diameter setting reduces weight and provides a linear operation feeling. Wrapping with high visible color threads is applied for visibility.

Equipped with a hook keeper that supports movement with the hook set.

The front grip is a high-grade rubber cork that prevents chipping.

The end cap is a hard-strength EVA that does not slip and is not damaged even if the rod is leaned against a rock. Protects the central laser engraved metal ring from scratches.
