3X

The Trika 3X series is a 17-rod bass lineup based on 100 percent carbon weave blanks using the brand's patent-pending Axial-Weave Technology, a multidirectional weave process that serves reduced weight and increased sensitivity over conventional unidirectional graphite. Trika cites 1.5 times the sensitivity of traditional graphite blanks and over 50 percent more sensitivity than competing high-end rods.

Components include carbon-fiber reel seats and split-grip carbon handles. Spinning models carry Sea Guide stainless guides with a triangular double-swaged frame and Adaman coating. Casting models share the same blank technology in baitcast configurations. The series is sold at a single $199.99 retail point across all models. The lineup runs seven casting models and ten spinning models, with power ratings from ultralight through medium-heavy and actions from fast through extra-fast.

Trika backs the 3X with a limited lifetime warranty and a 365-day satisfaction guarantee allowing return within twelve months for refund or exchange.
