Asp fishing with hard lures

Stalking the Asp is an active, exploratory style of fishing where the lure is often retrieved at high speed. This super fish mainly hunts close to the surface and responds well to stickbaits, jerkbaits, lipless and metal lures between 7 and 12cm. Blanks need to be good casters, fast enough to animate correctly but with a nice curve to control the fight and avoid stalling.

1. NFC EFX 703 IM : 'The blank for light fishing and when asps are edging'. 2m13 3-15g, it allows you to search for Asps with small lures when they are hunting in the fry. Versatile and a weapon of choice for summer fishing. Like most NFC Blanks, it's progressive in the fight and its sensitivity is a plus for passing small soft lures if asps don't respond to PN.
2. NFC SJ 803 IM 2.43m 5-20g. Ideal for lures between 7 and 10cm, it allows you to cast far and fish efficiently. Its conical shape gives it a high reserve of power for its category. And like its little brother the EFX 703, it has all the qualities of NFC blanks.
3. Rodbuilders' Republic PPS86MH-2The ultimate blank for asp stalking in large environments : 2.60m 7-28g. It allows you to reach far-away spots and its length is an asset for long-distance casting. When fishing far away, it's essential to have a good leverage arm to absorb the braid's belly when striking. Its dry action allows you to animate 8 to 12cm lures energetically and make them move in currents. Once under pressure in combat, this blank expresses a very progressive curve that will dampen the typical ball-strikes of asps in the seconds following the attack. Despite its length, this blank is very light and well-balanced, which is important when you're spending hours on dry animation. With 2 equal strands, it's easy to carry.
