XESTA BLACK STAR S65L-T Plugging Script 1-12g

The XESTA Black Star S65L-T is a precision-built tubular tip light game rod, designed for anglers who rely on retrieve-based techniques using plugs and small jigs. This model is specifically tuned for fishing where consistent lure action and control during steady retrieves are essential.

The tubular tip is engineered to bend smoothly under light loads, maintaining a stable and natural lure presentation while reeling. At the same time, it reacts quickly to sudden strikes, allowing anglers to set the hook efficiently. The rod’s stiff belly and butt sections provide additional power, making it capable of handling strong fish and aggressive twitching techniques.

Its variable taper tubular blank offers an ideal balance of sensitivity, control, and power, making it perfect for fishing in harbours, breakwaters, and coastal areas where predators such as rockfish, barracuda, and trevally are commonly targeted.

Despite its strength, the rod remains extremely lightweight, weighing only 56g, ensuring comfort and precision during long finesse sessions.
