HTO Rockfish ’19 Rods

The original Rockfish rods range, was one of the most successful HTO rod launches. It was the first range of rods designed in the UK for LRF fishing at an affordable price for all levels of anglers. The HTO Rockfish Game rods, have been overhauled completely, redesigned to better cater for modern trends, with a stunning new look and at a value for money price.

Featuring perfect actions for fishing with a wide range of ultralight lures and tactics, good quality fittings and a modern look, it is hard to find an LRF rod that can match the HTO Rockfish range. Each rod is two-piece and built from IM7 Carbon and rung with quality, single leg, SIC guides and features a VSS style screw winch seat and EVA handle.

Orange accents around the real seat and butt, stand out against the dark, with grey blank and black whippings. The tip ring, features an orange accent to help with visibility in darker fishing conditions on all rods except the UL, which has a white tip section.

The Rockfish 19 UL rods, come with solid tips, which are fantastic for fishing with jig heads “on the drop” and for reducing the resistance felt by species that inhale a bait. The fish can suck in a lure and the soft tip helps to reduce the resistance felt by the fish, to induce confident takes.

The rest of the Rockfish 19 rods have tubular tips. These are good for applications where you need a stiffer tip, such as when working small crank baits, or heavier metal lures. Tubular tipped rods, tend to offer more feel than solid-tipped rods and are very good for bouncing jig heads along the bottom.
