TRANSCENDENCE Trapa77B+

The Trapa77B+ is a multi-piece rod with variable lengths that incorporates all the elements required for snakehead fishing games.

Developed in collaboration with OLD NORTH BUTT, a frog manufacturer, it took five years of testing to finally reach completion.

The fields for snakehead fishing are diverse, ranging from vast swamps to narrow waterways that can be easily jumped over. In addition to the scale, conditions change continuously based on the type of cover and its growth status.

The Trapa66/77B+ was created to embody "a snakehead rod that can conquer many fields with a single rod." It has undergone extensive testing in various types of fields across different regions.

With two lengths that can be chosen according to the scale of the field, multi-piece portability, and, above all, a power setting that can adapt widely from open water to heavy cover, it has been thoroughly refined. Additionally, to maintain focus even in harsh conditions, it features a high-balance design that reduces fatigue, achieving a light and responsive operability.

In the context of snakehead rods, which are often subjected to high loads, anglers may be concerned about lift power, hooking power, and break strength in multi-piece rods. The Trapa series thoroughly examines these aspects, achieving superior break strength compared to traditional multi-piece rods during testing. It has successfully landed numerous large moss darumas during test fishing, providing the same level of confidence as a one-piece rod while being classified as lightweight among snakehead rods.

Its lightweight design allows for stress-free use throughout the day, excellent casting performance in big fields, and ease of handling in creeks due to the introduction of a 2-in-1 system—all of which are advantages made possible by its multi-piece construction.

The Trapa77B is designed for large fields such as swamps and ponds.

It offers excellent casting ability for long-distance throws with various weights of frogs, a hooking stroke that securely engages thick hooks, and the power to bring in large catches along with abundant vegetation, all while maintaining impressive operability that belies its length.

The blank, reminiscent of strong muscles, provides a following action that reduces lost fish by absorbing head shakes in open to light cover, while also standing firm against heavy cover without compromising strength. This characteristic allows it to handle loads effectively, with lighter frogs being absorbed at the belly and heavier ones at the belly to butt, enabling smooth and enjoyable long-distance casting with a wide range of frog weights.

The blank delivers a palpable power that cannot simply be described as "hard" or "soft," possessing the specifications to handle the fundamental hard situations in snakehead fishing.

The Trapa77B embodies the serious consideration of a multi-piece rod manufacturer dedicated to creating a snakehead rod.
