How to fish the Maria - Rapido 190F
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Rapido 190F to surface-feeding kingfish, tuna and GT, especially when fish are following but hesitant to strike.
Work it with simple sweeps of the rod to create rolling and darting action, or apply technical inputs for more erratic movement - the slim 65g body responds well to both approaches.
Its floating design keeps it in the strike zone during pauses; vary your retrieve cadence to trigger commits. The streamlined profile casts long distances to reach distant bust-ups, making it ideal for sight-fishing or working structure where pelagics hunt.
