As average catch sizes are increasing across the country, bigger and heavier lures are being used. Thus, anglers require heavier tackle, and this rod delivers strength and length beyond those expectations. The versatile Baltoro is a medium-heavy power rod that superbly works 10g~20g moving and soft baits while also delivering a unique balance of power and fine-tuned core strength. It delivers high performance in the bass fishing basics of “casting” and “hookset”. Additionally, the rod length is kept the same as the lesser power Joker, and by also maintaining the same balance in grip shape and length, it keeps the same overall feel. This concept of keeping the same feel while increasing power is seen in the Transporter and Skywalker of the GLADIATOR Original series and has been a key concept of Raid Japan since our beginning.
