LIGHTNING HT II rods are versatile, light weight and designed with progressive (moderate-fast) blank action.
These rods are recommended to use in combination with spinning lures such as spoons, spinners, wobblers / crankbaits and other straight retrieve lures.
The progressive, moderate-fast action of the Lightning HT II baitcasting rod makes it an incredibly versatile and forgiving tool. This specific action is your greatest ally when fishing with moving baits, particularly those with treble hooks. The blank loads perfectly during the cast for excellent distance and then provides just enough flex to absorb the aggressive strikes common with reaction lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and lipless crankbaits. This slight give helps to keep fish pinned, dramatically reducing the chances of a thrown hook during a frantic fight. Whether you are methodically retrieving a wobbler through the water column, burning a spinnerbait over submerged grass, or casting a spoon to distant targets, this rod provides the ideal performance characteristics for a successful day of fishing. Upgrade your arsenal with the Berkley Lightning HT II and feel the power of a legend in your hands Black
