XESTA Black Star Extra Tuned S55UL/L-S The Flow Control 0.2-3.5g

The XESTA Black Star Extra-Tuned S55UL/L-S is one of the pinnacle models in the Black Star series, built for anglers who demand ultimate sensitivity and control in light game and finesse fishing. Designed for challenging conditions such as fishing in current or near the bottom in depths over 5 meters, this rod delivers exceptional responsiveness while maintaining the power needed to control light rigs.

Despite its ultra-slim profile, the rod features a 15cm high-sensitivity solid tip made from 30T carbon, combined with the resilience typically found in tubular rods. This unique design allows anglers to maintain precise control of light rigs even under water pressure, making it ideal when finesse techniques are required in deeper or flowing water.

Constructed with advanced Torayca® T1100G carbon material, the Extra-Tuned series achieves an outstanding balance of lightness, strength, and flexibility. The result is a rod that transmits subtle bites instantly while remaining incredibly comfortable to fish with during long sessions.
