About this piece
The Wild Side series represents Legit Design’s debut bass rod lineup, born from a desire to break free from industry constraints and build the ideal rod. The WSS70ML is a spinning model tuned for Lake Biwa guide Tetsushi Okumura’s specialty: using PE line to aggressively snap a jighead rig, let it fall on slack line, and hold in a stay for the bite. Its smooth-bending blank and dedicated grip design reduce wrist fatigue during repeated lift-and-drop actions, while hidden power from aramid reinforcement handles big bass in cover.
Key features
- Smooth, progressive blank curve for controlled lure hopping
- Ergonomic grip design minimizes wrist strain during long sessions
- Aramid-reinforced blank adds backbone for extracting fish from weeds
- Excellent long-casting performance for I-shaped presentations
- Optimized for PE line yet compatible with fluorocarbon
Best for
- Jighead rig snapping and dead-sticking techniques
- Targeting pressured, weed-dwelling bass in clear water
- Anglers seeking a sensitive, fatigue-free rod for all-day finesse work
- Versatile enough for long-distance casting with light lures
