Hearty Rise Valley Hunter Casting Rod 712 XH Cast 2.17m 10–80g

Hearty Rise Valley Hunter Casting Rod 712 XH — Asymmetric Power for Predator Fishing

The Valley Hunter 712 XH is a baitcasting (BC) rod built for anglers who target pike and zander with soft plastics and heavy presentations. At 2.17 m with a 10–80 g lure weight range, it covers everything from finesse jigging to hard-pulling rubber fish sessions.

Trigger Handle & Fuji Components for Baitcasting Precision

Fitted with a trigger grip and a Fuji reel seat, the rod is purpose-built for baitcaster reels. This setup gives you direct control over lure presentation and improved sensitivity for detecting bottom contact and subtle takes during active jigging.

Asymmetric Split for a Better Fighting Action

The two-piece construction uses an asymmetric joint placement, meaning the blank sections are unequal in length. This design preserves a more continuous taper through the blank, resulting in a smoother, more natural rod action during the fight and reducing the stiffness that symmetrical splits can introduce at the joint.
