LEGIT DESIGN Wild Side High Performance WHPS-ST61UL

WILDSIDE HP — Spinning Models

The WILDSIDE HP spinning series is a complete evolution of the popular original WILDSIDE lineup, rebuilt with advanced materials, updated construction techniques, and refined Legitness Design rod engineering. With the increasing adoption of fine-diameter PE lines, the blank characteristics have been re-examined to properly support the sensitivity and zero-stretch properties of PE. Through optimized aramid reinforcement placement tailored to each model, these rods deliver sharp response and crisp recovery while maintaining a supple, powerful backbone.

Rather than focusing solely on stiffness and lightness—traits often over-emphasized in bass spinning rods—Legit Design pursues a rod that “simply catches fish.” A rod that performs intuitively and without stress, becoming an extension of the angler’s technique. User-friendly yet cutting-edge: that is the philosophy behind the WILDSIDE HP spinning series.

WHPS-ST61UL “Solid Tip Model”

A finesse spinning rod equipped with a highly sensitive solid tip — your ultimate guardian for subtle bites.

Designed with a longer, low-taper solid tip, this rod excels with delicate light-rig techniques like down shot (primary), micro-hover rigs, and small worm no-sinkers. It delivers exceptional bite detection and hookup performance while maintaining superb operability. The blank is optimized for the growing use of fine-diameter PE lines, achieving both smooth loading and a crisp, clean release during casting. Aramid reinforcement from the belly through the butt section ensures dependable power when fighting fish.
