FISHMAN BC5 9.6MH FBC5MH96

5pcs × 9.6ft — A Long 5-Piece Rod That Opens Access to Previously Unreachable Fishing Grounds

Remote fishing spots often require both hands free just to reach them, making it impractical to carry a traditional long rod when traveling by public transportation or bicycle. The B.C.5 9.6MH solves this problem with an excellent packed length of just 66 cm, delivering outstanding portability.

The rod features a medium-fast taper that is easy for any angler to handle. Its defining characteristic is the five-piece construction, which allows each section to serve a specific purpose:

• #4 section: Built with added strength to handle unexpected large fish, yet designed to bend smoothly once a certain load is exceeded.
• #3 section: Acts as the core of casting, lure control, and fighting performance, efficiently transferring power between the front and rear sections.
• #2 section: Provides the intended action to the lure while generating strong hook-setting power through its firmness.
• #1 section: Offers sensitivity with controlled stiffness, while multiple single-foot guides enhance bite absorption, ensuring excellent hook penetration at the moment of strike.

The intentionally extended grip not only improves leverage but also functions as a protective support when the rod sections are bundled for transport.

Ideal target species include trophy-class seabass, yellowtail, rockfish, and even striped bass overseas—perfect for situations that demand long-distance casting.

Grip Section

The grip is deliberately longer to help prevent damage to other sections when the rod is bundled for carrying, effectively serving as a protective brace.

Under the Trigger

Three grooves are built in beneath the trigger to improve grip strength during casting and when battling unexpected large fish.

5-Piece Design

Despite its length, the rod packs down to just 66 cm for exceptional portability. While multi-piece rods once carried a higher risk of breakage under bending loads, this model has been carefully engineered to produce a smooth, beautiful bending curve with enhanced durability.
