VALLEYHILL DRAGON STICK II — DSTC-63XUL

Ultra-Finesse Slim-Profile Hairtail (Tachiuo) Jigging Specialist

The Dragon Stick II series represents a total redesign of Valleyhill's entry-level Hairtail (Tachiuo) jigging rod lineup. Retaining the smooth jerking action of the original series, this updated generation features a slimmer blank profile that achieves lighter physical weight and a seamless, graceful bending curve.

The DSTC-63XUL is the most delicate model in the lineup, featuring an extra-fine 1.1 mm tip and an Extra Ultra-Light power rating. Designed specifically for technical, high-pressure situations or lighter jigs up to 165 g, its softened action enhances tactile feedback so anglers can feel micro-adjustments in line tension during slow-pitch jerks and drop falls. Despite its ultra-finesse profile, the 99% high-modulus carbon construction retains the backbone power needed to secure trophy-sized "Dragon" Hairtail.

KEY DESIGN FEATURES

• Ultra-Fine 1.1 mm Tip & XUL Finesse Action

  Features an exceptionally fine tip diameter tuned for maximum line-tension sensitivity, making it easy to detect soft, subtle bites during slow drops and subtle jerks.

• Slim-Profile Lightweight Blank (112 g)

  Re-engineered with a sleeker blank diameter to minimize angler fatigue and produce a clean, continuous parabolic bend under pressure.

• High-Modulus Carbon Power Reserve

  Built with a 99% high-carbon composite structure that provides deep blank tenacity to tackle unexpected large predators.

• 2-Piece Center-Cut Portability

  Features a practical 100 cm closed length for safe and convenient transport to offshore charter boats.
