Every inch of ThunderBolt is built for serious fishing. From handle to tip, here’s what sets it apart.
Powerful Tip
The hollow tip is a bold design choice.
ThunderBolt owners demand a tip that is both stronger and more powerful.
With a slim diameter of only 2.2mm, there’s no need to worry about losing sensitivity.
When you’re targeting the big ones, performance matters most.
Stainless guides
The stainless frame resists saltwater corrosion, and the ceramic ring reduces heat from friction.
MN guides blend Low Rider stability with DPS strength, ensuring smooth line control.
Dual Top-Locking System
A top-locking design keeps your reel firmly in place, preventing any shift during heavy fights.
Reinforced with a stainless dual-lock ring for added security and resistance to loosening under pressure.
Reinforced & Wrapper Handle
The textured “old-school” wrap delivers a firm, anti-slip grip while protecting the rod from bumps and scratches. Above the reel seat, a rubber wrap enhances comfort and moisture control during intense fights.
X-Cross reinforced process on the handle section for increased strength and integrity. Delivering better power transfer during casting and fish fighting.
Extended Butt
The 90cm extended butt section provides greater leverage.
Helping you cast more powerfully and comfortably for longer sessions.
