A DEDICATED MUSHI, OR “BUG” PATTERN BAIT FINESSE ROD, THE F0ST-66X SIGLETT EXCELS IN ULTRA-FINESSE TOPWATER GAMES. IMPROVED SOLID-TIP DESIGN IMPARTS OTHERWORLDLY SENSITIVITY AND FEELS, TRANSMITTING THE EXQUISITELY DETAILED MINUTIAE OF MICRO INSECT LURES FOR PRECISION CONTROL.

FURTHER, THE DELICATE RESPONSIVENESS OF THE SOLID TIP CAPTURES EVEN THE LIGHTEST TOPWATER BITES, YIELDING INSTANTLY TO ALLOW PLUGS TO TRAVEL DEEP INTO PREDATOR’S THROATS FOR SURE HOOKING.

BY FOCUSING ON THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT ALLOW THE POP-X TO REALIZE ITS FULL POTENTIAL, THE F1-63X BECAME A RARE MASTERWORK THAT UNLOCKS UNTOLD POTENTIAL ACROSS THE SMALL-PLUGGING WORLD. THE POPX STICK DRAWS ON THE UNIQUELY CRISP “SPRING-BACK” ACTION OF THE 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM TO OVERCOME THE SOFT SLUGGISHNESS OF CONVENTIONAL LIGHT ACTION RODS. WHERE PAST LIGHT-ACTION RODS BEND DEEP INTO THE BLANK WITH WOBBLY RESPONSIVENESS AND CLUMSY CONTROL, THE POPX STICK BRINGS VIRTUALLY LOSSLESS TRANSMISSION TO SMALL PLUGS, COMMUNICATING THE PRECISE RHYTHM AND ENERGY OF EACH “TWITCH” TO IMPART IRRESISTIBLE ACTION. FURTHER, THE IMPROVED BLANK INTEGRITY OF POPX STICK REDUCES BLANK TWIST AND INSTABILITY THROUGHOUT THE CAST, ALLOWING MORE PRECISE AND POWERFUL PLACEMENT TO CONJURE KEY BITES.
