HTO Tempest Range – A sensitive, accurate casting rod that covers a broad range of uses. Whether you’re fishing Neko, Jighead, Dropshot, with Cheb Rigs, Ned or other similar tactics, this rod is a winner. It’s also a dab hand with hard lures sub-surface or top water. Want to use some metals? It can do that too. The rod has plenty of lifting power and a beautiful playing action.
HTO named each Tempest rod based on the type of fishing it’s suited for. Instead of aimless length and weight descriptions, they’ve given you an idea of what each rod is designed to do.
HTO Tempest Range is made from a high-volume 40-ton Japanese carbon, this helps keep the blanks light but ultra-strong and crisp. It aids the recovery, making these the most accurate, distance casting tools HTO ever produced at this price. They’ve further strengthened the blanks by using X-Tec Mesh, this unique wrap protects the integrity of the blank, further enhancing HTO Tempest Range performance and durability.
A wise man once said, “to add speed, add lightness” — to that end, HTO looked at each rod and removed several whippings to reduce their weight, many rods have unnecessary whippings around the reel seats and butt caps. These are merely cosmetic, but add weight. HTO also think this minimalistic style looks cool, too!
All rods are built using Fuji Guides and Fuji Reel Seats.
