LEGIT DESIGN Wild Side High Performance WHPC-ST69H

The Ultimate Synergy of Raw Power and Progressive Suppleness

The WILD SIDE HP baitcasting lineup re-engineered the heart of the rod—its blank construction and material composition. Every model undergoes a rigorous design process where the specific fishing style, tackle configuration, power curve, and elasticity are balanced to find the absolute optimum setup.

For models requiring immense lifting power and tenacity, a full-body Aramid Reinforcement wrap is applied. For models prioritizing a crisp, effortless swing-through and enhanced weight balance, reinforcement is restricted solely to the butt section. By introducing these cutting-edge construction methods and updating target lure and rig profiles, these rods avoid being overly stiff or fragile. Instead, they seamlessly fuse raw power with a progressive, deep-bending curve that lightens the physical load on the angler—delivering true real-world usability and high-yield catch rates.

WHPC-ST69H (Solid Tip Model)

A heavy-power operational rod that seamlessly fuses raw torque with ultra-delicate action, designed for ultimate precision in heavy techniques. Thanks to its specialized solid tip, this rod allows you to execute high-precision presentations with demanding styles that require both substantial lure weight and continuous, subtle shaking—such as Bama-strolling (Alabama rig strolling), flipping heavy Texas rigs carefully into floating weed mats, or working bulky plastics on free rigs. The 6'9" length maximizes both your casting accuracy and tactile sensitivity.

Key Design Features

• Advanced Blank Construction

  
  

  

  Driven by the evolution of core carbon fibers, the signature Aramid Reinforcement has been precisely optimized for each individual model. Rather than relying blindly on high-end materials like TORAYCA® T1100G and M40X, LEGIT DESIGN blends diverse elasticity carbons in strategic positions to build a highly responsive, high-performance blank.

• LEGIT DESIGN Original Guide Setting

  
  

  

  Outfitted with Fuji Stainless Steel Frame SiC Ring Guides. The layout, sizing, and spacing are fine-tuned for every model to maximize the natural bending properties and sensitivity of the blank.

• Fuji ECS Reel Seat

  
  

  

  Utilizes the industry-proven Fuji ECS reel seat, widely acclaimed for its exceptional ergonomics, comfort, and direct blank-touch control during both moving bait retrieval and heavy flipping/pitching styles.

• Model-Specific Grip End Design

  
  

  

  

  • Standard Models: Features a minimalist, featherlight, small-profile EVA rear grip for agile handling.
  • WHPC-73MH & WHPC-73H (Power Models): Equipped with a specialized EVA + High-Grade Rubberized Cork configuration designed for extra gripping leverage during extreme power fishing.
• Heavy-Duty End Caps

  
  

  

  

  • Standard Models: Finished with a durable rubber end cap embedding a 3D pressed-metal brand emblem.
  • WHPC-73MH & WHPC-73H (Power Models): Fitted with a rounded, impact-absorbing rubberized cork cap to prevent abdominal pain or bruising when digging the rod butt into your stomach during violent hooksets and heavy fights.
• Upgraded Reel Hood

  
  

  

  Features a newly designed, premium 4-axis carbon locking hood finished with the distinct LEGIT DESIGN logo.
