24 Bellezza UX
Lower-priced area trout rods with the OP-01 carbon seat, 5'8" to 6'8"
24 Bellezza UX is Olympic's lower-priced area trout series, built by bringing the approach of its Corto ajing rods to trout. It uses Olympic's original OP-01 carbon reel seat, mounted down-locking, for sensitivity, with a front-gripless separate grip and a minimal rear grip to save weight. The blanks mix carbon of several moduli with Graphite Cross LV in the butt, the guides are stainless-frame SiC-S, and Japanese prices run from ¥22,500 to ¥24,500.
The 5'8" 24GBELUS-582XUL-T is a soft rod for retrieving micro spoons and micro cranks at a steady speed (0.4 to 3.5 g). The 6'1" 25GBELUS-612SUL-S, added in 2025, has a solid tip for spoons and slow micro-crank retrieves when short bites are common. The 6'2" 622SUL-T has a faster action for bottom bumping, twitching and plugs; the 6'5" 652UL-T has the most butt power in the series, for long casts and large trout (0.6 to 7 g); and the 6'8" 682SUL-T, also from 2025, is the longest, for reaching unpressured fish far out in large ponds. Line ratings run to 3 to 5 lb.
