The WKS-PPS66MH: The Predator Patrol Rod Compatible for Bass and Zander Vertical Fishing

La WKS-PPS66MH : la canne Predator Patrol compatible pour le bass et le sandre en verticale

The flagship of the Predator Patrol range from Rodbuilders' Republic, the WKS-PPS66MH has established itself as a high-precision all-round rod. Largemouth bass in heavy cover, jigs, frogs, topwater lures — but also vertical zander fishing with jig heads between 14 and 35 g: it excels where other rods reach their limits. Here is what makes it a rod in a class of its own.

The WKS-PPS66MH: Versatility and Reactivity for Bass and Zander

A Lively and Precise Rod, Built for Two Disciplines

The WKS-PPS66MH is above all a rod built on feel. Its single-piece blank of 6'6" (1.98 m) weighs just 47 grams, but it is its reactivity that makes an immediate impression from the very first outing: the blank responds instantly to every impulse, whether animating a rubber jig in heavy cover or working a 6" finesse lure vertically beneath the boat. Its Fast action concentrates the work in the upper section of the blank, guaranteeing penetrating hook sets and a perfect reading of the bottom. Its power range — from 7 to 28 g for bass fishing, extended up to 35 g for vertical zander — gives it a true dual identity. Jig heads between 14 and 35 g are handled with disarming ease, and the blank transmits every contact, every bite with rare clarity. One rod, two hunting grounds.

A Blank Unanimously Praised in the Field

Since its release, the WKS-PPS66MH has won over the most demanding guides and anglers. Field feedback is eloquent: incredible lightness, an impeccable build, and above all unexpected sensations even on modest-sized fish. When rubber jig fishing in heavy cover, where instant bite transmission is vital, this rod truly shines — information travels up without delay, and the hook set fires with authority.

A Premium Build True to the Rodhouse Philosophy

Carbon Handle and Fuji ACSM Reel Seat: the Precision Duo

The WKS-PPS66MH is fitted with a carbon handle, the most coherent choice to preserve the exceptional vibrational qualities of the blank. Every micro-information travelling up from the lure or the bottom passes directly through to the hand, without being filtered by a softer material. The Fuji ACSM reel seat, positioned 29 cm from the butt, places the trigger in an ideal zone for a natural casting grip and precise wrist animation — essential for correctly working jigs and topwater lures.

Fuji Titanium Torzite Guides in Spiral Configuration: Nothing is Lost

The spiral casting configuration with Fuji Titanium Torzite guides is the setup that takes this blank into another dimension. The Titanium frame, of extreme lightness, adds no load to the blank and preserves its natural behaviour. The Torzite insert, the highest-performing in the Fuji range, ensures a perfect glide of the thin braided line, with no friction or heat build-up. For bass fishing, where casts follow one after another throughout an entire session, this fluidity translates into less fatigue, greater precision — and more fish in the net.
