SHIMANO Sea Mark Baits Saguri 350

Seamark Bait Saguri Rod – Basic Model

Designed to optimize saguri fishing with baitcasting reels equipped with counters, the Seamark Bait Saguri rod is a perfect entry-level model for baitcasting in sea fishing ponds. Its specialized design for counter-equipped baitcasting reels allows anglers to pinpoint precise depths, thanks to a trigger reel seat for enhanced control. The white-painted, glass solid tip is ultra-sensitive and designed for high visual sensitivity, ensuring strikes are easily detectable. The unique two-piece construction with spiral guide placement minimizes line tangling, making it ideal for lightweight rigs often used in this fishing style. Additionally, the slender blank reduces wind resistance, providing smooth control even in breezy conditions. The EVA grip and reel seat length allow comfortable handling, reducing fatigue and enhancing stability during fights. Rated at M power, this rod is versatile enough for red sea bream and medium-sized bluefish.

Key Features:

1. Trigger Reel Seat: Suited for baitcasting reels, the low-profile multi-palming seat offers excellent balance and sensitivity, making it comfortable for extended fishing sessions.
2. Counter-Compatible: With counter-equipped baitcasting reels, anglers can target different layers in the pond effectively by simply attaching a hook and weight to the line, making it easy for beginners to get started with saguri fishing.
3. Optimized Sensitivity: The white-painted glass solid tip prioritizes sensitivity and strike visibility, making even subtle fish contacts noticeable. The spiral guide layout, which wraps from top to bottom, prevents line from tangling by keeping the line path clear along the back of the rod tip.
4. Comfort-Focused Grip and Reel Seat Length: The EVA grip and appropriately set reel seat length provide better hold and stability, reducing fatigue and increasing control when fighting large fish.
5. Spiral Guide Setting: By adopting a spiral guide setting that turns from upright near the handle to downward at the tip, the rod minimizes line tangling issues, especially when using light rigs. Its two-piece construction enables a slimmer blank than telescopic rods, making it ideal for windy days.

Fishing Styles with Seamark Bait Saguri:

• Handheld Style: This active fishing style lets anglers cover both the perimeter and center of the pond, making it easier to adjust depth precisely and lure fish. It is physically demanding but allows for responsive movement of the bait, making fish more likely to bite.
• Rod-Holder Style: By resting the rod in a holder, this approach enables more focused strike detection with less physical strain. This style is ideal when targeting fish at a fixed depth, although it is less suited to frequently adjusting depths or covering a wide area.

Setup and Basic Tackle:

The Seamark Bait Saguri is recommended for use with a counter-equipped baitcasting reel, such as the Barchetta BB150DHPG, spooled with 3-4lb fluorocarbon. Basic rigs include a size 9-12 hook and a 1-3 weight, adjusted as needed based on water flow, target depth, and bait descent speed.
