This smaller version of the Rod Bar 270 is becoming to get a reputation for itself over here in Jersey and in Wexford in Ireland. It still has the same castability of the 270, 5-50g, so no prisoners there then.
Don’t be taken in by its size, this little Bull Terrier of the plugging world is a lovely little bit of kit, light and easy to use, but will tame double figure bass at a glance. It is used here for boat plugging and shore fishing where surface lures are mainly used.
Built from high modulus carbon with Fuji SIC titaniun “Guide concept” eyes and high density foam grips, this little equal sectioned spigoted rod is a joy to use.
As in all the Tenryus the thickness of the blank is amazing compared to other rods of a simular weight.

I own a Rod Bar 270 and can only speak very highly of the rod.Light in weight yet powerful when handling decent fish (I have had fish to 5lb on it).I understand It is designed by french bass anglers specificly for plugging and makes working the full range of plugs ie surface to deep divers and soft baits easy and is a pleasure to use.Admittedly not cheap but I think the colour is a reflection on it being the Ferrari of plugging rods.

A rather over rated rod. Very expensive and performs no better than the Daiwa Amorphus or Mike Ladle Sure Spin both of which I own and much prefer.
