With Christmas approaching, it's time to treat yourself to some new gear. If you are thinking about getting a new rod, Bass Lures is the place to be. We have Japanese made rods from major brands such as Sakura and Megabass which are sure to give you the edge when searching for the big one.

• Mazzera 682M (10-30g) Excellent kayak rod, short and powerful.  

• Mazzera 742ML (7-21g) Superb and sensitive for shore plugging and soft plastics.
