Legend Tournament Bass Casting
Technique-split tournament bass casting series, crankbait carbon and braid-rated glass hybrid, all at 7'10"
The Legend Tournament Bass Casting series serves competitive and dedicated freshwater bass anglers who need technique-specific tools instead of general-purpose rods. The lineup covers big-crankbait trolling and frog/punching applications, techniques where blank material and action matter as much as power rating. Minimum lure weight starts at 3/8 oz and tops out at 2.5 oz on the standard carbon models and 5 oz on the braid-rated glass hybrid versions. Two blank technologies split the series. The LBTC models use SCIV+ pure carbon with FRS (Fortified Resin System) and ART reinforcement, optimized for sensitivity and fast-loading cranks.
The LBTG models use an SCIV+ carbon/iAct Linear S-Glass hybrid, which adds load-absorbing flex to keep treble hooks pinned and reduces fish-throwing on reaction strikes. All four rods are 7'10" single-piece construction, keeping length consistent while varying material and power. Fuji K-Series tangle-free guides with Alconite rings are standard; the LBTG braid-rated models run 14–80 lb line, pointing directly at heavy braid applications (frog, punch, heavy swimbaits). All four models are 7'10" casting rods, Spinning variants in this subset is absent.
The pair splits by blank type: two LBTC carbon rods at H/M and XH/M action (crankbait applications, moderate action to load and cushion), and two LBTG glass-hybrid rods at H/F and XH/F fast action (braid/frog/flipping applications). Within each pair, the XH version escalates lure ceiling significantly (1 1/8 oz vs 2.5 oz; 2 oz vs 5 oz), serving heavier jig/swimbait or punch-rig work.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 4 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.

Model notes
All 4 modelsSCIV+ carbon, moderate action. The standard big-crankbait rod in the series, H/M pairing loads fully on medium-diving cranks and square bills. 8–16 lb mono or fluoro.
Glass-hybrid blank (SCIV+ with iAct Linear S-Glass), fast action, heavy braid to 80 lb. The hollow-body frog and flipping rod in the series. Glass adds cushion on strike while fast action enables immediate hookset into thick cover.
Same SCIV+ carbon as the H/M but rated for up to 2.5 oz, covers large-profile swimbaits and big deep-diving cranks. XH backbone prevents collapse on heavy lures while moderate action still cushions during the retrieve.
Heaviest model in the batch, glass hybrid, XH power, 2–5 oz lure range. Punching heavy mats, large swimbaits, or magnum frogs. 80 lb braid ceiling is the highest in the series.
